Application

The NSE application process is simple

1. Start your application.
2. Contact your home campus NSE coordinator to review your NSE application. They may have additional application requirements, including but not limited to: transcript, letters of recommendation, goal statements for your exchange, personal interview, and more. Your home campus will ensure that both NSE and campus eligibility requirements are met.
3. Pay the $150 NSE application fee. Follow instructions from your NSE coordinator to pay the NSE application fee and any other fees required by your home campus. This fee is non-refundable. No refund will be given whether or not you are placed, accept or decline your placement, or withdraw or become ineligible. If you reapply for NSE participation, you may incur an additional application fee.

Your home campus has designed an application and selection procedure to ensure that both NSE and campus standards are met. It is likely that you will be expected to provide a current transcript, letters of recommendation, goal statements for your exchange, and basic biographic data. The application is processed at your home campus and may require a personal interview. Consult your home campus NSE coordinator for details concerning the process and application deadlines on your campus.

Program Options

Program options (such as study abroad, internships, student teaching) must be explored with your home coordinator eight to ten months prior to the actual exchange. These options require advanced planning, special arrangements, and, in some cases, additional application materials./p>

Special Needs

If you will need classroom, housing, or other accommodation due to a physical challenge, learning ability, or medical condition, you are encouraged to identify yourself for assistance at the time of application in selecting an exchange site that can best meet your needs.

Commitment

It is important that you explore your exchange participation very carefully prior to actual placement. Select only campuses to which you are willing to exchange, including those which may be second, third, or other choices. Explore exchange participation, including financial resources, with your parents, significant others, academic advisor, and financial aid officer prior to placement, not after.
