NSE Handbook

The primary obligation for a campus is the commitment to administer the campus NSE program in accordance with the policies and procedures detailed in the NSE Handbook.

Campus Coordinator

NSE requires a campus to appoint an NSE campus coordinator. It is that person's responsibility to develop the program, maintain working relations with other administrative offices, promote the program and prepare students for exchange. The coordinator also serves as the host for incoming students. As the link between NSE and the campus, the coordinator is the key to having a successful program. Depending on the size of the campus and the number of participants, the position takes from 10% to 20% of a person's time.

Coordinators come from a wide variety of offices on member campuses, including: study abroad, honors programs, academic advising, enrollment management, student activities or development, special programs, academic affairs, or multicultural programs.

NSE Conference

The campus coordinator is required to attend the annual conference where the vast majority of students are placed for exchange. In-service training, panel presentations, and consortium business are also conducted at the conference.

"I think of NSE as the ultimate expression of undergraduate educational opportunity."
