Orientations
To assist you in preparing for your fall semester, The N.U.in Program will host Pre-Departure Orientation this summer. The N.U.in Pre-Departure Orientation will be offered as a series of mandatory online learning modules and an optional one-day in-person experience on Northeastern’s Boston campus. There will also be additional virtual engagement opportunities throughout the summer leading up to your departure to your N.U.in location, including a required location-specific webinar in August.
We will be sending more information about Pre-Departure Orientation in the coming months. Please keep an eye on this webpage and your Northeastern email for new updates.
