Registration Process and Timeline:

  1. Update your 4-year curriculum plan with courses you have taken and plan to take in the upcoming semester. If possible, please fill out the classes you plan to take in a different color font.
     
  2. Submit a Registration Form with your up-to-date curriculum plan. If your plan is satisfactory, we will remove your hold. Otherwise, we will request that you make an appointment. 
     
  3. If you are in the BS/MS Program, please complete your BS/MS Approval Form and submit it with your Registration Form for review. Dr. Siddiqui and Dr. Cecen will send it back to you with their signature once approved. For additional information, please see: https://biomedical.njit.edu/bsms-program-info.
     

Appointments:

Prior to scheduling an appointment, please make sure you have submitted your Registration Form. 

Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors can schedule an appointment (if needed) with Dr. Siddiqui using this link.
 

Choosing electives is the biggest concern for Juniors and Seniors. Keep the following in mind:

  • Take other BME concentration classes as electives. You can easily combine two concentration classes with your electives. This will make you more marketable in the industry. 
  • We created a shortlist of suggested electives for you. Please visit our curriculum website for this information. 
  • Be mindful of the difference between Engineering Electives and Advanced Science Electives. Please review the BME Catalog and the curriculum website. 

Special Permits for Registration:

You may need a permit for registration errors due to missing prerequisites, field of study errors, honors cohort errors, year errors, or bridge permits. For closed course permits, you must be on the waitlist for the course. Closed course permits will be evaluated prior to the start of the semester after the waitlist notifications have been completed. 

For special course permits, please fill out the permit form. Your permit request will be evaluated by the Advisor and granted if appropriate. All permit approvals will be based on seniority. Permit requests for courses outside the BME department cannot be approved by BME advisors.

Information Sessions:

  • General Information: If you have questions about electives or to sequence your classes and make 4-year-plan, we have volunteers who will help you during common hours in Fenster Hall 640. 
     

If you have questions about specific courses that cannot be answered by your peer mentor, you can email your advisor or the concentration chairs:

  • Medical Device and Imaging Concentration Chair is Dr. Elisa Kallioniemi
  • Biomechanics Concentration Chair is Dr. Sergei Adamovich
  • Biomaterials Concentration Chair is Dr. Jonathan Grasman
