- Academic Guide
Academic assistance in a wide range of disciplines is available all over campus. To find out the specific kind of assistance that might best help you, check out the Academic Guide website. - Freshman Online Advising
This website orients incoming undeclared freshmen to important academic information. It is required that undeclared students use this site before coming to summer orientation. Through the site, you will begin to learn about the curriculum in the College of Arts and Sciences and you will be able to register for a course early, which ensures that you will be able to get your first choice of courses. - Discovering Blackboard
This 20-minute interactive tutorial teaches students the basics of Blackboard, the University's course management system that allows students to access course materials online. - The Office of Career Services
Career Services Counselors, located in 101 Stearns Center, are available to work with you individually to help you gain the self-knowledge and awareness necessary to making a good choice of major and, ultimately, a career. The Career Services website offers a multitude of resources and links to key sites that will help you research majors, in addition to finding internships, careers and co-op opportunities. Diane Ciarletta, Tina Mello and Kate Famulari are available to Undeclared students by appointment, which you can make either through your MyNEU account or by calling 617-373-2430. - University Health & Counseling Services
University Health & Counseling Services is committed to both your physical and mental well-being. There are on-site clinicians including nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, physician assistants, psychologists and mental health counselors available to you in the Forsyth Building. There are also a wealth of specialists in the Greater Boston area available to provide more in-depth care should you need further evaluation and treatment. - MyNEU Portal
The MyNEU Portal is a comprehensive, web-based service that addresses your academic, personal, and recreational needs by providing a single integrated point for access to useful University information, people, and processes. Through the portal, you have access to college and departmental websites, course offerings, course descriptions, your transcript, your grades, and many other services.- Email
Every Northeastern student is assigned a University e-mail account during summer orientation. It is important that you use this account. You will receive important University and College information through your University e-mail account. Your advisors (Jan and Kim) in the College of Arts and Sciences use your University email account to create a distribution list of all Undeclared students so that we can communicate important information (e.g., advising and course registration, workshops, scholarships, College events, etc.) to you on a regular basis. - Check Your Email
It is important that you check your NU e-mail account at least once a week or that you forward your email to the account that you do use. To learn how to autoforward your email to a separate account go to the Help menu on your MyNEU page.

- Northeastern University Undergraduate Catalog
The catalog includes the curriculum for all of the majors in the University. This is where you will find information on majors outside of the College of Arts and Sciences. If you are interested in programs in the Bouve College of Health Sciences, the College of Business Administration, the College of Computer and Information Science, the College of Criminal Justice, or the College of Engineering you should check out the requirements in the catalog. The catalog also includes course descriptions of all undergraduate courses (including lists of courses in the NU Core Curriculum), information on prerequisites for all courses, and information on University-wide policies and procedures. - Student Handbook (PDF)
The Undergraduate Student Handbook provides information on campus resources, University policies and procedures, student activities organizations, code of student conduct, academic and other appeals procedures, financial aid and billing, leaves of absence, students' rights and responsibilities, etc. - Preparing for Co-op as an Undeclared Student
If you are interested in participating in the co-op program, it is in your best interest to declare a major by the end of the spring semester of your freshman year or the fall semester of your sophomore year. As an Undeclared student, you need to complete a few steps to be eligible for co-op. Only after you have been in a major for one semester and you haven taken the Introduction to Co-op course, you are eligible to go on co-op. The course is a 1 semester hour course that is taught by the co-op coordinator of each major. In the course you will put together a resume, work on interviewing skills, and learn essential information about co-op and career-building.
If you are not interested in participating in co-op during your sophomore year, and you are not interested in one of the structured programs in Arts and Sciences, you may wait until the end of your sophomore year to declare your major.
