The beauty of the NEOMFA is that our students have access to four universities and four sets of faculty.

Though working with the registrars of four independent institutions can feel complicated, we strongly encourage everyone to branch out and take courses across the consortium. The process is detailed below.

Please follow these guidelines and dates, regardless of registration windows at the individual campuses.

Start here

STEP ONE: TELL US

A. After consulting the current list of courses, decide what classes you want.
B. For core NEOMFA classes, contact neomfa@kent.edu during your assigned registration period. For electives and literature courses, contact each professor (see email address on course listing pages) or for courses at the University of Akron, the Campus Coordinator, to request a seat in their class.

If the class is at your gateway campus

STEP TWO: YOU'LL BE REFERRED

Once you’ve secured a seat in the class, the professor (or Campus Coordinator) will refer you to your department’s Graduate Advisor or admin, who will instruct you on further enrollment procedures.

If the class is at a different campus

STEP TWO: FILL OUT THE FORM

A. Fill out the cross-registration form and email it to your Campus Coordinator, who will send it on for the other appropriate signatures.
B. Once the form has been returned to your home department by the host university, your own department will add the course to your schedule.

If the course does not show up on your schedule after a few weeks, check with your department graduate advisor or MFA representative. Note that the form must go from your department to your graduate school, to the host university and back to your department—so give it some time!
