Taking Graduate Courses Prior to Admission

Many of our graduate programs allow you to take up to nine credits (typically three courses) while you are completing the application process. We recommend talking to the program coordinator for the program you're considering before you register.

If you've never taken a class a Salem State before, we make it easy for visiting students like you. Use our First-Time Service Tool to create a student account and register online.

If you have previously applied to or taken classes at Salem State, you'll likely need to reactivate your Navigator account (click "Account Help" or reactivate your ability to register.
