Most campuses have forms to accommodate that process. NSE refers to such forms as advising agreements. NSE recommends that the academic advisor, major department chair, student, and NSE coordinator all sign and have a copy of the agreement. Some campuses may have the registrar or transcript evaluator also sign. A copy should be filed in the student's official record.
Resident credit is determined by the home campus.
Most campuses count NSE exchange work at the host campus as time in residence at the home campus, but it is a campus decision. An exchange is limited to one calendar year in total but not necessarily consecutive terms. Exchange beyond the equivalent of one calendar year is not permitted. An exchange of less than a calendar year may be extended to total no more than a calendar year as long as both the home and host coordinators agree to it in writing. Extending to a period greater than a calendar year is a violation of NSE policy.
