NATIONAL STUDENT EXCHANGE:
An Exciting Engagement Opportunity for UA Undergraduates

The University of Arizona (UA) has been a member of the National Student Exchange (NSE) consortium since 1997. This domestic exchange program allows undergraduates to pay tuition at UA while visiting one of 189 participating institutions within the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands.

Why NSE? Students apply to NSE to experience new environments while accessing new courses, participating in internships/service learning opportunities, looking for work in desirable job markets, and exploring graduate and professional school options. Past participants have traveled to Quebec and Puerto Rico to strengthen French and Spanish language skills; others have taken marine biology classes in Rhode Island, California and Hawaii; while Africana Studies students have explored U.S. history and the Civil Rights era at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). NSE has high satisfaction and placement rates, with participants reporting increased decision-making skills, flexibility, confidence and independence.

Who is Eligible? Applications are being accepted for the 2015-16 academic year at: http://arizona.us7.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=d02ce653ff78467d92a1ca720&id=5d6e6cb29c&e=af2923c469. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with a 2.5 or higher GPA are encouraged to apply. Students with UA-specific financial aid (grants, scholarships, tuition waivers) can use these funds to support a semester or year-long NSE experience. All majors are welcome.

Financial Aid
With some exceptions, U.S. federally-funded financial aid for eligible students is applied for, awarded by, and disbursed from the campus at which tuition/fees are paid.

Cost
There are two tuition payment plans utilized by NSE. Most NSE campuses use both payment plans.
• Under Plan A, you pay the resident (in-state/in-province) tuition/fees to your host campus.
• Under Plan B, you pay your normal tuition/fees to your home university.
On both tuition payment plans, fees assessed as a condition of enroll-ment (e.g., fees for laboratory courses, general service, computer, technology, art and photography supplies) are always paid to your host campus.
If you reside on campus, you will pay for room and meals at your host campus. You will also be responsible for transportation, personal expenses, and sightseeing opportunities while on exchange.

Placement
Most placements are made at NSE's annual conference in early March. Annually, 97% of the applicants are placed at one of their campus choices. Placement probabilities are governed by the number of openings at an institution and the number of students seeking that location.

Questions/Referrals: Inquiries and referrals should be sent to ArizonaNSE at gmail.com (mailto:ArizonaNSE at gmail.com) , 520-626-7475 and weekly information sessions take place each Thursday at 1:30pm-2:30pm, Student Union Memorial Center.
