National Student Exchange (NSE) provides accessible, affordable study away through collegiate Âé¶¹´«Ã½ exchange. NSE Âé¶¹´«Ã½ have resumed normal instruction. Some Âé¶¹´«Ã½ may offer limited course offerings or online instruction. The COVID-19 vaccine may be required for exchange enrollment at some Âé¶¹´«Ã½.
NSE continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on study away programs and Âé¶¹´«Ã½s. Please practice safety protocols and see links at the bottom of this page for useful information. NSE cares about your health and encourages you to be thoroughly vaccinated against COVID-19 along with a booster vaccine(s) as an important step to prevent yourself and others from getting sick with COVID-19 disease.
NSE Exchange is designed for connection and community. Individual NSE member U.S. and Canadian institutions are currently making their own administrative decisions on Âé¶¹´«Ã½s and study away. Decisions are made on a campus by campus basis. Contact your home campus NSE Coordinator about any academic or financial implications.
What should Âé¶¹´«Ã½s do?
Students participating in NSE are governed by the policies of both Âé¶¹´«Ã½, home and host, and should maintain active communication with their coordinators at each campus.
Travel Restrictions & Suspension of Programs
NSE supports the activities of our member Âé¶¹´«Ã½ who may make changes in academic instruction. As a bridge between Âé¶¹´«Ã½, NSE does not express a policy on Âé¶¹´«Ã½s and travel during program disruption. Any travel is the purview of the home and/or host campus and should be in line with CDC travel recommendations.
NSE Coordinators should work with Âé¶¹´«Ã½s and their partner institutions to provide advice and guidance to Âé¶¹´«Ã½s currently in programs. Should conditions change such that the CDC or the U.S. State Department recommend against travel to a destination, NSE will provide additional updates.
We recommend everyone know COVID-19 symptoms and identify local healthcare resources in case services are needed. All persons are encouraged to be vigilant with infection control practices. Students who have healthcare questions should contact their home or host campus health service directly.
