Orientation checklist

Below is a list of items you must complete before beginning the MPH program.

1. Complete Graduate School checklist

Review and complete the items on the New Graduate Student Information and Next Steps webpage. That webpage contains a checklist (helpful reminders) for new graduate students covering parking permits, student ID cards, University health forms, finalizing financing, ordering textbooks and more. 

2. Request transfer of credit

If you have graduate-level coursework you think is eligible for transfer or waiver of credit, submit a Graduate School Request for Transfer of Credit form. The form and the Graduate School's policy about transferring credits are presented in the Graduate School Manual.

3. Review registration and advising information

Before you come to a group advising session, review the information on this hub's Registration and Advising webpage to familiarize yourself with how to navigate BU Brain and look up course information.

4. Read and agree to policies and procedures

Decker College graduate students must read and agree to adhere to the policies and procedures within the University Student Code of Conduct, Binghamton Academic Guide (formerly, the Bulletin) and Graduate School Manual. All students must sign an acknowledgment form before starting the program. Information about these documents (and a link to the acknowledgment form) is presented on this hub's Policies and Procedures webpage
