Students are expected to comply with any additional academic requirements or regulations specified by the host campus and must be enrolled as full-time students while on exchange. Iowa State students may exchange for periods up to one full calendar year. Exchanges may be for a single semester or year or consecutive semesters including a summer, but not to exceed one year. Occasionally a student will go in a semester during a sophomore year and another semester in a senior year. Any pattern is acceptable as long as the total, combined exchange is no longer than a full calendar year.
Students are subject to the rules and regulations of the host campus while on exchange.
In addition, they remain as degree-seeking students at Iowa State University and are representing Iowa State while on exchange. Therefore, they are meeting academic requirements of Iowa State and must maintain these standards to remain program participants. With so many attractive and diverse colleges and universities, the major problem is deciding which schools for exchange. The NSE coordinator can help make that selection process more comfortable. There is also a NSE Directory with information on the campuses, their locations, lists of available majors and relevant statistical information.
