Frequently Asked Questions

When do students begin to plan their Fall 2026 course schedules?
Academic Advising has been working with students on their Fall course schedule, and will continue to do so, throughout the summer. Academic advising has provided students with their crosswalk worksheet in April and is registering students in fall classes based on their seniority and degree requirements.

Do students have an opportunity to make schedule adjustments?
Yes. The advising team is registering continuing students for their Fall 2026 classes based on their Northeastern degree requirements. Schedules are viewable in the Student Hub portal and will be finalized throughout the summer transition period. Beginning Monday, August 3, students will have the opportunity to work with their academic advisor to make essential schedule adjustments, after they have been initially registered for classes.

Who will my academic advisor be?
Students will be assigned their academic advisor following schedule completion in late July. Their academic advisor will provide major-specific advising for each student, and provide in-person and virtual support on course selection, academic planning and referrals to other support offices on campus.

Can students take more courses than a typical course load if they wish to do so?
Yes, students in New York City follow the same course registration policies as students at any Northeastern University location.

Is the academic calendar in New York City the same as the Boston campus?
Yes, except for state-specific holidays the schedules are the same. The academic calendar can be viewed here.

For questions related to your student record, transcript, the academic calendar, credit transfers, or other matters related to the Office of the Registrar, please visit the Registrar Service Portal. You can use the chat to ask your question or search our catalog of resources. Your academic advisor is your best resource for questions regarding your major, course requirements, and schedule.

Can students in New York City join clubs based in Boston if they convene virtually?
There are currently more than 20 clubs and organizations on the New York City campus, but students have the opportunity to start or restart a club based on current student interest, so the number of student organizations can change year to year. Collaboration with Boston-based clubs is planned for the coming academic year, but it is not guaranteed that students studying on the New York City campus will be able to participate in all clubs based in Boston. Eligibility for participation in specific Boston-based clubs can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

What dining options are available on campus?
On-campus dining options will remain consistent with the offerings last academic year including the 4th Floor Café, David’s Cafe, and the C-Store at 55th Street Residence Hall.

Are there any changes to Dining Dollars?
Through the campus’s partnership with Grubhub, students living in campus residence halls will be auto-enrolled in Dining Dollar plans which can be utilized at campus dining locations, or at hundreds of off-campus restaurants, with all delivery fees waived for Grubhub+ qualifying orders of $18 or more. Please note off-campus Grubhub transactions are subject to sales-tax, therefore utilizing Dining Dollars on campus can save students money. All residential students are required to participate in the Dining Dollars program each semester, with multiple tiered plans to choose from — first-year residents and continuing residents each have their own set of three tier options to best fit their dining needs.

Please note, for any student with a valid Dining Dollar balance as of July 1 2026, this value will be transitioned to a new MMC Legacy Husky Dollars account in July. Husky Dollars can be utilized on Grubhub mobile app for both on-campus and off-campus dining locations. Students with active balances will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to access their new Husky Dollars account via Grubhub.

Students living off-campus have the option to upload any value of Husky Dollars to their campus ID card, which can be utilized at all on campus dining locations, as well as on the Grubhub app for off-campus delivery and take-out options. Please see the Husky Dollar website for details on how to add Husky Dollars.

The medical insurance administrator is Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBS). All undergraduate students are automatically enrolled every plan year, as dictated by Massachusetts law. This law is applicable to all campuses in the United States. The plan year is September 1 to August 31.

What if I already have insurance?
Students can submit a health plan waiver if they would like to opt out of NUSHP because they already have comparable coverage. Completing the waiver (and getting it approved) is the only way to get out of being enrolled in, and being charged for, NUSHP.

Completing the waiver (and getting it approved) is the only way to get out of being enrolled in, and being charged for, NUSHP. Students can submit a waiver request after they receive their fall semester bill. The waiver deadline is September 30, 2026. Students who do not receive an approved waiver by September 30, 2026, will remain enrolled in NUSHP until August 31, which is the end of the 2026-2027 plan year.

What does NUSHP cover?
Students have access to a wide range of providers both nationwide and internationally, a 24/7 Nurse Line at no additional cost, automatic enrollment in Basic Dental Savings Program, and more. Full benefit information can be found here.

Will there be tuition increases for students enrolled at MMC at the time of the merger?
As part of Northeastern’s commitment to support the MMC community of learners and scholars through the merger, current MMC students will be provided an adjustment to tuition to offset the price differential existing at time of merger. This offset will be provided as a direct credit to tuition billing. The annual credit will be determined by calculating the difference between Northeastern full-time undergraduate tuition for 2026-27 and Marymount Manhattan full-time undergraduate tuition for 2025-26.

When will I receive my first bill?
All continuing MMC students will receive their bill sometime in early August. That bill will reflect the tuition offset as noted above. Estimated financial aid for on-time returning applicants will also be included as anticipated credits on this bill.
