The information on this page applies to Returning Students for the Spring 2012 semester. Information regarding Spring 2012 deadlines will posted in this space.
Step 1: Academic Advising
As a college student at New England Conservatory, you are required to meet with your Academic Advisor at least once per semester to track progress in your degree program, go over recommendations and requirements for the following semester, and discuss your academic plans.
To prepare for this meeting, please consult the Academic Catalog concerning requirements for your program and major. We also recommend you look at the course schedule for Spring 2012, available through PowerCampus Self Service (PDF instructions for access and use may be found here) and on the NEC website beginning October 3, 2011; a limited number of reference copies will be available for use within the Office of Student Services. Please plan on a wait of several days between the time you sign up and the time your appointment takes place.
Appointment schedules with the Academic Advisors will be posted on the bulletin board in the Office of Students Services (SB 224). Students may sign up for advising appointments on the following schedule:
| Wednesday, September 28 | First appointment schedule posted (schedules will normally be posted one week in advance with new postings made as each week fills up) |
| Wednesday, October 5 | Advising appointments begin for these groups of students:
|
| Wednesday, October 19 | Advising appointments begin for 2013 graduating students |
| Monday, October 31 | Advising appointments begin for 2014 and 2015 graduating students |
| Tuesday, November 22 | Deadline for Academic Advising (all students) |
| *Students graduating in May 2012 will benefit from scheduling their advising appointments early in the advising period. | |
At your appointment, your Academic Advisor will provide you with information and instructions to help you register for Spring 2012. You are encouraged to come with any questions you may have about curricular opportunities at NEC. Please note that you may not register for Spring 2012 until after you have met with your Academic Advisor.
See below for more information about registration.
Step 2: Registration
After you have met with your Academic Advisor, you may proceed with registration for Spring 2012. Before you will be allowed to register, you must clear all administrative holds, including Academic Advising, Health Information, Business Office, Financial Aid, and Qualifying Degree. Please note that ALL students must register by November 22nd. Students who register after this date will be charged the $210 late registration fee.
The schedule for most registration groups (both online and in person) is determined by current anticipated graduation year:
| DMA students | October 17 - November 22 |
| All 2012 graduating students | October 24 - November 22 |
| All Tufts and Harvard students | October 24 - November 22 |
