We ask that you list at least 10 courses in case some classes are not available.
Please list your courses in order of importance.
Please note that you will be pre-registered for the courses listed below, if the course is available. If the specific
section time you requested is not available, we will attempt to place you in a section with a different meeting time.
You will meet with Suffolk’s academic advising staff during orientation to finalize your registration. Please note that
your home university must assist you with selecting courses that will be the best fit for your degree. Our advising
staff can inform you regarding what courses are still available, but cannot indicate what will work best for your degree
at your home institution.
