When you are considering study away or study abroad with an NSE exchange, you are encouraged to select colleges and universities that will provide learning opportunities to complement those of your home institution and assist you in reaching your educational goals. You are also encouraged to select Â鶹´«Ã½ that will match your personal strengths and allow you to experience the educational, geographic, and cultural diversity found throughout NSE.
Read below for essential tips for researching your exchange and deciding on an NSE campus.
Understand exchange policies and procedures.
Contact your home campus NSE Coordinator with key questions.
Which tuition plan is available to me? NSE Â鶹´«Ã½s pay HOME or HOST tuition, not both.
What are my campus eligibility requirements?
What is the deadline and application process?
Understand Academic Choices
Review Academic Credit for more info. Review the Academics tab and Course Catalog on the campus profile of any school you are considering.
Academic questions:
Do I have a flexible academic plan for exchange? If you are dependent on a specific course for graduation or to maintain academic progress, exchange may not be appropriate. Registration in host campus courses is based on offerings and availability and cannot be guaranteed.
Has my academic advisor approved my plan for exchange?
Will the host campus offer access to adequate courses for maintenance of academic progress?
Will participating in the exchange delay graduation?
How will specialized or unique course offerings at the host campus enhance my academic program and career objectives?
Am I proficient in the language of my prospective host campus? Classes are taught in Spanish at all Â鶹´«Ã½ in Puerto Rico. At most Â鶹´«Ã½ in Quebec, classes are taught in French.
Is the host campus on the same academic calendar as my own? If you are moving between quarter and semester calendars, you are encouraged to plan an academic year exchange to maintain academic progress.
Understand Finances
Review Tuition and Fees and Financial Aid for more info. Review the campus profile of any school you're considering.
Key questions:
Which tuition plan is available to me?
How will exchange affect my financial aid?
Are my financial resources sufficient to cover the cost of exchange?
