Register for your Private Instruction and/or Recital Preparation before your other courses using Search and Register for Classes. See Private Instructors and Private Instruction and Recital Preparation Requirements for requirements, course codes, and available instructors.

Students are limited to registering for a specific number of ensembles during the registration period, according to instrument. This is to provide all students with an equitable way to register for ensembles. Once all assigned online registration times have passed, additional ensembles can be added. See Ensemble Information for details. 

To view a current online listing of ensembles with open seats for your instrument, select the “Browse Ensembles” link under the Registration section on my.berklee.edu. This report updates every five minutes, so make note of the ensembles with available seats and try to add them. 

If you're running into technical problems when trying to register online, here are a few quick tips that may help solve them:

• Do not use the "Back" button on your browser. Use the menu items and links provided.
• Online registration does not support multiple tabs. Though you may be able to open multiple tabs, it is not recommended that you do so when registering online.
• The system may take up to 15 seconds to process your request, so be patient and do not click "Submit" more than once on each screen.
• When faced with error messages, sometimes quitting and restarting the browser and/or your computer before logging back in can help. Cookies, caches, and other settings on your specific machine may need updating. You can also try a different browser, or if you have access, a different machine.

If you need additional technical assistance, please email the Student Computer Support Center at 8800@berklee.edu or call 617-747-8800.

If you need assistance with other registration issues, please email the Office of the Registrar at registrar@berklee.edu or call 617-747-2240.
