Your application and approximately $150 non-refundable application fee are due February 15, 2010. Upon submitting your application, you will schedule a meeting with the NSE Coordinator to discuss exchange details. Placements for the upcoming academic year are made in March.

Qualifications

To qualify for participation in NSE, an applicant must meet the following criteria:

• Maintain a UNI and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better at the time of application and exchange
• Have completed at least 30 UNI hours at the time of exchange
• Post-baccalaureate students are not eligible for exchange
• Retain full-time status as a UNI student at both the time of application and in the semester prior to exchange
• Be considered in good standing as defined by UNI

Academic Credit and Grades

Working with your academic advisor, you will select courses and submit a Preliminary Transfer Credit Evaluation to the UNI Admissions/ Enrollment Services Office which will determine the transferability of work to be completed at the host campus. Once approved, credit earned while on exchange will be shown as transfer credit on your UNI transcript. Grades will transfer.

Cost

UNI is a Plan B school, allowing you to pay UNI tuition while attending another B or A/B school. Tuition must be paid in full prior to leaving on exchange. Room, board and special fees are assessed at the host campus. Transportation and other expenses are additional costs and must be taken into consideration. Financial aid needs are assessed and awarded by UNI.
