Orientation & Welcome Week
Orientation is mandatory for all new students. Visit Northeastern’s Student Orientation and Parent/Family Programs for information on registration, travel recommendations, and the itinerary.
Before you arrive
Before arriving at CAMD to begin your undergraduate program, we suggest reviewing the below list of administrative tasks and completing any required materials—so you can concentrate fully on your studies.
All issues associated with bill payment, late fees, and billing discrepancies should be addressed directly with the Office of Student Financial Services.
Our goal is to make students feel right at home. The Northeastern campus has a variety of housing options for first-year students, each one unique and made to provide the best living experience for every student. Information about on-campus housing can be found at Housing and Residential Life.
International students are an important part of our community. Visit the Office of Global Services to review the requirements and services available to assist you as you make the transition from your native country to the United States.
The health and well-being of our undergraduate students is a priority. Please review the important information below to ensure you meet the requirements of Massachusetts state law and understand your healthcare options.
Health Report
All students must submit a health report that includes a physical exam within the last 12 months, documentation of a tuberculosis test within the last 10 years, and proof of immunity to tetanus, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and rubella. Please download the University Health Report form from University Health and Counseling Services, and return it no later than 30 days prior to the start of classes. If you do not submit the form, Health Services will block you from registering for your second semester at Northeastern.

Health PLANS

Once you’re on campus
Please review the Registrar’s Office academic calendar for important dates throughout the school year. CAMD seeks to expand opportunities for students to engage in academic, artistic, and cultural events that lead to research, creative projects, and programs—and enhance your Northeastern experience. We hope you’ll take advantage of the wealth of on-campus concerts, plays, lectures, conferences, and symposia, and that you will also get to know many of your fellow students and members of our exceptional faculty.

The Center for the Arts, CAMD’s art and research hub, presents vibrant programming with renowned and innovative artists and thought leaders, while also showcasing
the creative and intellectual dynamism of our faculty and students.
Whether you want to start your own business, play in a music ensemble, tackle design projects for real-life clients, or host a radio show, student clubs and organizations are a fantastic way to make your CAMD experience your own by doing what you love, both in and out of the classroom.
CAMD events, hackathons, and conferences are collaborative environments focused around a unifying theme. These interactive, forward-thinking events are designed to facilitate collaboration between students of diverse backgrounds and skill sets as they engage around shared passions and explore solutions to tangible, real-world issues.

Peer Mentors
Peer mentors guide new students through the process of forging connections, setting and accomplishing goals, and finding new opportunities on and around campus. If you’re a first-semester student, be sure to connect with your peer mentor and participate in activities such as pizza and movie gatherings, scavenger hunts around campus and Boston, coffee chats, and outings to athletic events and performances. If you’re an upper-class student interested in being a peer mentor, sharing your own experiences, and coordinating activities with new students, please apply!
