Instructions

Follow the steps below to register for your GPS course(s). We recommend printing this page so that you can follow these instructions after logging into Sage.

STEP 1: Check Your Browser and Settings. Library and Technology Services (LTS) recommends using Mozilla Firefox on both Macs and PCs, as it has fewer security problems than other browsers. Make sure your browser is configured to allow cookies, pop-ups and JavaScript.

STEP 2: Register for Classes. You'll want to know the class numbers of the classes you would like to take before you start the enrollment process. You can find class numbers on our Course Schedule page, in the first column. Next, you'll complete the following steps:

1. View the Academics box at the top of your Student Center screen in Sage.
2. Select "Add, Drop, Swap Classes." Select the term you wish to enroll in from the dropdown menu. (If you do not see the current term, go back to your Student Center screen, and select the blue Enroll: Graduate Professional Studies button). You will be redirected to a page titled "Continuing Studies Term Activation Page." Use the Magnifying Glass Lookup button to select your program of interest. Select the yellow "Submit button." This will allow you to view the available courses for that term.
3. Select the term you wish to enroll in. You will be redirected to a page titled "Add Classes," where you can add classes to your Shopping Cart using the following steps:
   1. If you have the class number of the course you wish to enroll in, enter it in the Add to Cart box and select the Enter button. If you do not know your class number, use the search function to look it up.
   2. Once you have added the class number and selected the Enter button, the page will refresh and you will see that the class you selected is now listed.
   3. Confirm that the information displayed is correct, and select the Next button. This will add the course to your Shopping Cart. Repeat this step for any additional classes. When you're done adding classes, select the Proceed to Step 2 of 3 button below the Shopping Cart area.
   4. You should be redirected to a page titled "Confirm Classes." You must confirm that these are the courses in which you wish to enroll, and then select the Finish Enrolling button. You are not fully enrolled until you complete this step. If enrollment was successful, you will see a green success check mark icon next to your course.

STEP 3: Submit a Payment. Follow the steps listed in Sage to submit an online credit card payment for your courses. You will be redirected to a new window for Tuition Management Systems (TMS), our secure credit card processing system. Please enter your credit card information as directed, and submit. You should receive a confirmation email with the details of your payment. Your online credit card payment will be reflected in Sage within 48 hours.

Note: To register successfully for a course online, students must be prepared to pay tuition in full. See the Tuition and Payments page for current tuition and fees and for payment policies.

If you are paying by tuition remission, financial aid or a third party contract please contact Graduate Professional Studies (781-736-8787) BEFORE registering.
