of your courses listed, or (2) your “My Records/My Courses” section, or (3) in your “Registration” section. We truly appreciate your cooperation.
Please note that the copy of the evaluations provided to the instructors do not include your name. Your name is removed and the instructor only
receives the scores and comments. In addition, instructors do not have access to the evaluations until after they submit the final course grade for the
entire class.
- To register for the coming semester, you must select courses online via the OSC. The tab “Registration” is designed for this purpose - You must
clear your financial balance before registering for the new semester. You may also pay the required tuition and fees while selecting courses online

Registration
course selections and print your registration form online. Pay attention when your course selections are denied (You will also receive a

Registration Procedures
1. The class schedule is available on our website at http://www.npu.edu/Class%20Schedule.html (under the “Academics” tab). Find the courses offered which satisfy
your graduation requirements. You have access to your study plan via the OSC.
2. Select courses online. If you are denied access to the online registration due to certain reasons, you need to clear the issues before conducting the online
registration.
a) The following items describes some of the possible issues. If you owe official transcript(s) or GMAT/GRE/SAT score, your program status can be changed to
“non-degree” until you have submitted the documents or taken the test(s). For those who still need to take any assessment exam, you must take an oncampus assessment exam before registration. Some students are required to meet with a staff member for counseling before registration. You must also
clear your financial balance. You must provide a local address to the school. Please submit it online via the OSC. These are “issues” that can deny you
access to the online registration program.
b) Follow the “prerequisite” requirements when taking a course. A graduate student must clear his/her undergraduate deficiencies before taking any graduate
courses. An undergraduate student should clear most or all of the lower-division requirements before taking the upper-division major courses.
c) When you pay your tuition and fees in the Office, a registration form with the tuition and fees information will be printed for you, and you should check the data. To
avoid paying a late fee, payment must be made to NPU by 8/8/2015 (for current students).
d) Secure your space in the courses you enroll in by paying the required tuition and fees by the 8/8/2015 deadline.
3. Official registration: Only after you have paid the required tuition and fees will you be considered having registered for the new term.
4. Student ID card: Pick up your validation sticker from the administration office.
5. Payment Plans: Check with the Fee Station staff for payment plans available to you if you have difficulty paying the entire amount of tuition and fees at once. A new
international student does not have this option in the first semester at NPU. Any student using a payment plan is required to follow the payment schedule to
pay. Otherwise the student will be withdrawn from his/her classes.
MasterCard
6. Mandatory International Student Health Insurance: An international student must purchase the health insurance plan with the provider contracted by NPU. Any
