Course Selection Form Fall 2016

In order to facilitate a more equitable distribution of high demand courses, online registration will be closed for GH743, GH854, and  GH887. Full time students who have successfully completed 30 or more credits, and part time students with 24 or more credits by the end of the Spring 2016 semester will be prioritized for these courses. However, if you have met the prerequisites for the courses available for pre-registration, please feel free to complete the form regardless of how many credits you have completed. Preference will be given to those students who have not had the opportunity to take the courses above or any of the following during their degree program: GH722, GH744, GH745, or GH804. For all other Fall 2016 courses, registration will begin  at 9:00am on April 3, 2016. You do not need to complete the form if you are interested in other GH courses.

The reasons for this system are two-fold. First, we want to ensure that interested students graduating in the Fall 2016 or Spring 2017 semesters will have the chance to take at least 1 of these courses before graduation if they have not had access to them previously. Second, the content of these courses will be rigorous and we want to ensure that those students registered will have the course experience to succeed in them.

In order to be considered for any of the 3 courses listed above, you must complete the online form found here by 11:59pm on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. You will have the opportunity to indicate your preferred course(s). We will do our best to match you according to your preferences, and students will be notified by Wednesday, March 30, 2016. The SPH Registrar will pre-register students for these courses by Friday, April 1, 2016. If there are spots remaining after we have matched students, they will be available to all GH concentrators on a first come first served basis via the online waitlist form. The waitlist form will be available at http://www.bu.edu/sph/students/resources/forms/ shortly after April 3, 2016.

We are hopeful that this registration protocol will help relieve some of the stress associated with our current registration process and assure things go smoothly on the day of registration. If you have questions, please feel free to email the GH Program Manager, Travis DiJoseph at tdijo@bu.edu.
