N.U.in Orientation

Orientation Dates

Please check back for more information soon.

Information about virtual N.U.in Orientation dates will be communicated to student and families in the coming weeks.

N.U.in Orientation

N.U.in students have three orientations throughout their participation in the program, N.U.in Orientation, on-site orientation once students have arrived in their host countries (see the “On-site Orientation” section for your specific program), and Husky 101 Spring Student Orientation on Northeastern’s campus in January (see Office of Student Orientation and Family Programs for more information).

During virtual N.U.in Orientation this summer, students will participate in a program designed to introduce you to N.U.in policies and procedures, increase your familiarity with your N.U.in location, and meet your fellow N.U.in students.

Registration

Due to the virtual nature of the N.U.in Orientation this year, students and families are not required to register for the event. All enrolled students and families will receive updates as they become available.

WELCOME TO THE N.U.in PROGRAM!

We’re hard at work getting the website ready with locations for fall 2021—stay tuned for the announcement in early February.

What is The N.U.in Program?

Northeastern University’s signature first-year global experience, the N.U.in Program embodies Northeastern’s experiential approach to education. Launched in 2007, the N.U.in Program is rooted in our core belief that Northeastern students should be curious, adaptable, and agile as they explore the world around them.

Through the N.U.in Program, students will have a rigorous academic experience intertwined with unique cultural and social opportunities outside of the classroom. Coupled with a robust support system, this experience will support students’ growth as global citizens and fine-tune the skills they need to navigate their future.

Students admitted to the N.U.in Program embark on a unique first year internationally or in Boston. You will choose a location based on your major, age eligibility, and program capacity. If an international location is not able to operate given the global travel situation, you will have the opportunity to participate in an alternative program experience during the fall.

Your first semester credits will be applied toward your degree program, and you will start the spring semester with your fellow N.U.in alumni—more adventurous, more intellectually curious, and ready to jump into the next adventure. You will have the support of the larger Northeastern community, including a network of faculty, staff, advisors, and peers ready to support you.

How can I learn more about the N.U.in Program?

We are excited to support you and your family as you explore the incredible opportunities offered through the N.U.in Program and the university as a whole. Information will continue to be shared with you over the coming months. In the meantime, we encourage you to:

Mark your calendar for our N.U.in virtual events—stay tuned for more details, and visit your Application Status Check for more information and to register for events.
Meet your pack by checking out @TheNUinProgram and @NUAdmissions on Instagram and Twitter to connect with other N.U.in students and alumni.
Keep an eye on your inbox and mailbox for your N.U.in Admitted Student Guide and other important information.

Is The N.U.in Program right for me?

Studying internationally and in Boston is a rewarding and enriching life experience. Imagine starting your undergraduate career in an exciting, global setting. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.

Before making your college decision, remember to take time to gather the information you need by speaking with N.U.in staff, and evaluating your own goals and expectations for your first year of college. To help you discern whether the N.U.in Program will be a good fit for you, ask yourself:

How do I adapt to new environments?
How do I cope with challenging situations or problems?
Have I set goals for what I would like to achieve while in N.U.in and in my academic career?
Am I financially prepared?
Why do I want to be part of The N.U.in Program?

Curious about costs and payment information?

Cost: The cost for all N.U.in Program locations for fall 2020 was $35,995 (USD).

Details for fall 2021 sites will be provided when sites are announced in early February. This program fee generally includes:

Tuition, housing, dedicated 24/7 support staff, group flight fare and coordination, pre-departure orientation, on-site orientation, group excursions, N.U.in-organized activities, and other site-specific activities.

Financial Aid:

While enrolled in the N.U.in Program, students who file for financial aid are considered for need-based Northeastern funding only. Grants, loans, and work awards from federal and state sources cannot be applied to the fall semester. Students who qualify can use these financial options beginning in the spring semester.

The Office of Student Financial Services prides itself on offering expert advice, friendly service, and personalized support. Northeastern offers more than $305 million in grant and scholarship assistance, participates in all federal aid programs, and offers information on alternative financing and the Northeastern Payment Plan.

For additional information regarding financial aid, deadlines, and more, please visit the Student Financial Services website.
