Course Registration.

Course Schedule

Each semester’s course listing is viewable on MyBU Student; use the Class Search function to view classes in a particular semester.

Schedule

Review the class schedule and use the “Schedule Builder” function on MyBU Student to plan your schedule.

If the Schedule Builder tool is not available, this indicates a possible issue– you should review your holds and make sure that you resolve them.  If you cannot see any holds and still cannot access the Schedule Builder, please contact the SPH Registrar’s Office right away.

Courses & Course Descriptions

SPH degree candidates must successfully complete courses numbered SPH 700 and above or graduate courses offered outside of SPH specifically approved to count toward their degree programs.  SPH students, faculty, and staff may view course descriptions for approved SPH courses in the SPH Bulletin. Semester course descriptions are also viewable in MyBU Student in the Class Search tool.  Non-SPH courses that are pre-approved for MPH credit are listed on the Transfer Credit Form available on our forms page.
