Welcome to The N.U.in Program.

NOW PREPARE TO EMBARK.

Starting college is an adventure all on its own. But starting your college journey in another part of the world—well, that’s just extraordinary.

The N.U.in Program was created to provide adventurous, globally minded, smart students with the opportunity to break out of the ordinary. Few things open one’s mind more than world travel and becoming immersed in another country’s culture

and history. The goal of The N.U.in Program is to create students who are true citizens of the world. This is experiential learning at its best.

The N.U.in Program is an innovative, first-year, global experience. By starting your first semester in one of eight N.U.in locations around the world, you have an opportunity to discover and explore a new culture, language, and environment, all while studying in your chosen field. Students who participate in The N.U.in

Program return to the Boston campus in the spring more independent, curious, and ready to engage deeply in their education.

You have been selected to join Northeastern through The N.U.in Program because we believe you will make a great contribution to this program and to our community. We also believe that you have many of the qualities we value at Northeastern—leadership, adaptability, an eagerness to explore new ideas and places, an open

mind, an adventurous spirit, and a desire to impact the world. We hope that you’ll break out of the ordinary with us.

Learn everything about The N.U.in Program in the pages of this brochure and on the N.U.in website at northeastern.edu/nuin to determine if it’s right for you and to choose your adventure.

You can also contact [email protected] with questions.

Your Global Education Begins Here

First introduced in 2007, The N.U.in Program is a unique and innovative first-year

program designed to develop a student’s global perspective and foster the skills

to better navigate the world—today and in the years to come.

As an N.U.in student studying abroad for the first semester, you take courses

toward your major as well as Northeastern’s core requirements. You will also

take one course relevant to the culture of your specific location.

Through a unique integration of rigorous academics, experiential learning, and

global engagement, The N.U.in Program gives you an exciting early opportunity

to bring a global perspective to your entire academic career at Northeastern.

In January, when you and your fellow N.U.in students arrive at Northeastern’s

campus in Boston for the spring semester, your lives are that much more

enriched from your exposure to new cultures, people, and ideas.

Welcome to The N.U.in Program and the Northeastern University global

community. We encourage you to seize the many enlightening opportunities

this unique program has to offer.

What is N.U.in?

Is The N.U.in Program Right For Me?

Kickstarting your college education with an international experience can be rewarding and enriching, but it can be challenging as well.

Before making your college decision, remember to gather the information you need by visiting our campus, to speak with N.U.in staff,

and to evaluate your own goals and feelings about a global experience.

Reflect on whether The N.U.in Program will be a good fit for you.

ASK YOURSELF:

How do I adapt to new environments?

How do I cope with challenging situations or problems?

Have I set goals for what I would like to achieve while in N.U.in and in my academic career?

Am I financially prepared to be abroad?

Why do I want to be part of The N.U.in Program?

This opportunity has changed my outlook,

made me more globally aware, and provided me with

opportunities to see some of the most beautiful

landscapes on Earth. At the same time, I have made

friends who I am confident I will grow old with.

Now it’s time to take the first step on this exciting journey. Secure your place in The N.U.in Program now!

Deposit DeadlinesTo reserve a place in The N.U.in Program, you must first submit two nonrefundable enrollment deposits: $1,200 by May 2, 2016, and $2,500 by June 3, 2016. These deposits secure your enrollment in The N.U.in Program and Northeastern, cover transition activities and travel arrangements, and secure housing on the Boston campus in January.

You will need to submit your nonrefundable deposits online through the Admitted Student Portal at myNEU.neu.edu. (See the “Get Started” section for details on how to log on to myNEU.)

Enrollment PoliciesWithout exception, you must successfully complete your current academic program in good standing and submit all final transcripts. You must also submit proof of graduation, which is typically found on your final high school transcript. Failure to submit this information will impact your financial aid and enrollment. Failure to successfully complete your current academic program in good standing could result in a decision to rescind your offer of admission to The N.U.in Program and the university.

Disciplinary PoliciesDisciplinary issues that have occurred since admission, at The N.U.in Program Pre-Departure Orientation, while participating in The N.U.in Program, at Northeastern’s New Student Orientation programs, during Move-In, or prior to the official start of the semester, must be fully disclosed. Northeastern reserves the right to rescind your offer of admission or engage in any appropriate disciplinary action related to these issues.

Sending Academic InformationAfter you submit your deposits and before departing for your fall semester location, you will be required to send certain academic information to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions Application Processing Center, such as your final high school transcript, Advanced Placement test results, or International Baccalaureate exam results. Please see the “Enrollment Information” page under “Getting Started” at northeastern.edu/nuin for a complete list of necessary documents.

AP CreditStudents must report incoming/potentially incoming credit upon submitting their course selection in May. They should also confirm all AP credit during their discussions with their Northeastern advisors at Pre-Departure Orientation. Failure to do so may result in summer classes and possibly an overall schedule change for the remainder of a student’s courses at Northeastern.

Change of MajorWe review and approve requests for a change of major after admission on a case-by-case basis. Students who wish to request a change of major may do so through the “Self Service” tab on the myNEU Admitted Student Portal.

Transfer Credit PolicyStudents receive transfer credit for courses taken during The N.U.in Program for which they have earned a grade of C or better. Failure to complete coursework and earn a grade of C or better could result in the need to take extra courses during the summer or subsequent semesters, or a decision to postpone your matriculation to Northeastern University. Letter grades will be earned at host institutions and recorded on official transcripts from these universities or their schools of record.

Passport InformationAll N.U.in students will need a passport. Those who do not already have a passport should apply for one as soon as possible. U.S. citizens can find more information at the U.S. Department of State passport website at travel.state.gov/passport/. Please note: the U.S. State Department recommends at least six weeks to obtain a passport. Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond the scheduled program end date. Passports that are due to expire on or before June 23, 2016 should be renewed now.

VISA InformationN.U.in students may need to apply for a visa depending on their study abroad location. More information on applying may be found on our website at northeastern.edu/nuin.

Please note: Due to legal restrictions, The N.U.in Program staff cannot provide advice on how to fill out visa paperwork. Please contact your nearest consulate directly.

International StudentsInternational students may need to apply for two or more visas. In addition to applying for a U.S. visa for their studies in Boston beginning in January 2017, all non-U.S. citizens may have to apply for a visa for their N.U.in host country. Students are encouraged to begin both processes immediately upon submitting their deposits for The N.U.in Program.

OrientationTo prepare for the fall semester and Northeastern, orientation is offered in three separate sessions to provide a comprehensive introduction and overview of The N.U.in Program and each location.

During the first session, called Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO), students spend two days on the Boston campus in the summer to learn about Northeastern’s policies and procedures, to increase familiarity with specific N.U.in locations, and to meet their fellow N.U.in students, the N.U.in staff, and their academic advisor. Workshops and sessions will include culture acclimation, safety and security while studying abroad, N.U.in policies, academic advising, goal-setting, and team building.

This session is mandatory for all U.S. citizens. Students should register through their myNEU Admitted Student Portal. Due to U.S. visa regulations, international students are not required to attend this on-campus orientation program. International students will receive all necessary information online.

The second orientation session occurs on-site at each location. This program is designed to introduce N.U.in students to the partner institution, meet on-site staff, and increase familiarity with the location. This session is mandatory at all locations.

Upon returning to Boston, students participate in a New Student Orientation in January. Please see the “Transition to Boston” section for more details.

N.U.in StaffProfessional staff and International Student Advisors are assigned to each location in addition to local staff. In all locations, a Northeastern Site Lead oversees the experience—including academic, administrative, and student life opportunities. Assistant Site Leads are assigned to locations with high participant enrollment for additional leadership and support. In addition, all locations have International Student Advisors (ISAs), typically Northeastern co-op students and recent Northeastern graduates, who serve as peer advisors, teacher’s assistants, guides, role models, and support persons to the N.U.in students.

Health InsuranceAll N.U.in students are required to have their own health insurance abroad, as they are not covered by Northeastern’s student health insurance. N.U.in students should check now to see if they have international coverage from their current healthcare provider. If not, students must purchase international coverage. Please see the N.U.in website at northeastern.edu/nuin for more information on health insurance, medical services, and prescription medication.

MealsMeal availability varies from site to site based on housing arrangements. Sites where students have access to kitchens will not include any meals.

AccessibilityAny student requiring services or accommodations for a learning or physical disability during the fall semester must contact The N.U.in Program office directly at [email protected] or 617.373.6447.

If you have a disability or medical need that may require special accommodations on the Boston campus in the spring semester, please submit a housing accommodation form prior to May 2, 2016. More information can be found at northeastern.edu/housing/policies.

If your family experiences a substantial negative change in financial circumstances, we will reevaluate your aid package and make available all financial resources for which you qualify.

The university offers interest-free monthly payment plans administered through TuitionPay. The extended-payment plan allows families to divide the annual cost into nine, ten, or eleven monthly payments, depending on when the student enrolls in the plan. More information is available at tuitionpaymentplan.com/neu.

FINANCIAL AID

Eligibility

During the fall semester of The N.U.in Program, students who file for financial aid are considered for need-based Northeastern grant funding only. Grants, loans, and work awards from federal and state sources can be used beginning with the spring semester for students who qualify. All supplemental loans, including the Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan, are available to students and parents beginning with the spring semester as well.

Determining Award Amounts

Your Offer of Financial Assistance is based on a number of factors. We begin with the estimated cost of education. From this, we subtract the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is calculated from information you submitted on the FAFSA and CSS PROFILE forms, to arrive at your financial need. In addition to the need component, Northeastern recognizes a student’s academic merit when awarding institutional grant funds.

Accepting Your Offer

We do not require that you officially accept your offer of assistance. We will assume that you accept the entire aid package unless you specifically notify us in writing that you wish to decline all or part of the award.

Reporting Outside Assistance

If you will be receiving any forms of assistance not listed on your offer (such as a scholarship from a high school or other organization), you must notify us of this additional resource. Outside awards will be added to your aid package, and will be applied first to unmet financial need. We will replace loans and/or work-study, and may reduce institutional grants and/or scholarships as a last resort.

Verification of Data

Certain financial aid applicants are selected by either the U.S. Department of Education or Northeastern’s Student Financial Services office to verify the accuracy of information provided. If you have been selected for verification, your Offer of Assistance will remain tentative, pending the completion of the verification process. Upon receipt of the required materials, we will finalize the review of your application for financial aid. If documentation is not received by May 2, 2016, your Offer of Assistance could be canceled.

Should the verified financial information differ significantly from the original information provided, your aid may have to be adjusted. Please be sure to respond to requests for follow-up documentation in a timely manner.

Types of Financial AidThe three major types of financial aid are grants, loans, and work earnings. Grants are a form of aid that do not have to be repaid; loans must be repaid. Money from both grants and loans is applied directly to your tuition bill. The money you earn from work is intended to help you with expenses during the academic year. These earnings are not credited to your tuition bill.

NORTHEASTERN INSTITUTIONAL FUNDING

> Merit Scholarships Northeastern University awards merit scholarships to select students within the top 10-15 percent of freshmen admitted to the university.

> Need-Based Grants Most grants and non-merit scholarships funded by Northeastern require that a student demonstrates financial need.

FEDERAL GRANTS

> Federal Pell Grant Up to $5,775 is awarded, on the basis of EFC.

> Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant This grant is awarded directly from Student Financial Services to students who demonstrate exceptional need.

STATE GRANTS

Many states offer support to students who meet specific qualifications. If we have added a state grant to your award, it reflects our best estimate of your eligibility.

LOANS

> Federal Perkins Loan You must demonstrate financial need and meet the priority filing date for consideration, as funds are limited.

> Federal Stafford Loans These may be subsidized, unsubsidized, or a combination of both. With a need- based subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest that accrues while you are in school. On a non-need-based unsubsidized loan, interest accrues while in school.

> Supplemental Financing There are a number of educational loan programs available to assist you in covering your expenses over and above any financial aid that may be awarded to you.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY

This program assists students in securing part-time employment on campus, or at an approved off-campus agency, to help pay for incidental expenses during the year. Federal work-study is available once students return to Boston after their time abroad.
