Open registration for students considering graduate school begins on the following date:
-
November 4, 2019
Note: Schedule will be available in Navigator on October 9, 2019.
If You Have Never Registered or Applied to Salem State
To take a graduate-level class at Salem State, use our self-service process.
If You Have Registered Before
Previous applicants or students at Salem State will not be able to use the self-service tool. Instead, you’ll need to reactivate your student account by selecting "Account Help" from the Navigator login page, or you’ll need to contact the Student Navigation Center.
Get Started
We hope that, when considering a graduate program, your classes will help you decide to get your degree at Salem State.
Choose Your Classes
When you are ready to choose your graduate classes, go to Navigator and click class search. You may also want to think about your future plans, as you can take up to 3 graduate courses or 9 graduate credits before you have to enroll in a Salem State program.
Talk to Your Program Coordinator
Have you decided that you want to enroll in a graduate program? Or are you hitting your three-course limit? Contact one of our program advisors to discuss if you are a good graduate candidate and which classes you can use to count toward your degree.
Register
If you’ve chosen your classes and you’re ready to finish the process, log into Navigator and click on Manage Classes to search for classes and register.
Not You?
If this sounds like you, but you are earning credit for a graduate program at another school, look at the visiting graduate process. Otherwise, we can show you how to join us as a full-time, part-time, or certificate graduate student.
