Enrolled Hours: Fall and Spring Semesters

Enrolled Hours: Summer Semester

For students taking classes during the summer, the status is determined by the total number of enrolled summer hours.

Degree Verification

The National Student Clearinghouse is Northeastern’s authorized agent for providing degree verifications. Employers or background screening companies requesting degree information should visit National Student Clearinghouse.
