ENROLLMENT

NEXT STEPSEverything you need to know to enroll at Northeastern

HOW TO ENROLLThe first step you must take to secure a place at Northeastern is to submit your nonrefundable enrollment deposit. This applies to everyone, including freshmen required to live on campus— even if tuition and/or housing expenses will be covered in full by financial aid or scholarships. More details may be found at myNEU.neu.edu.

DEPOSITS Your nonrefundable enrollment deposit must be paid to reserve a place at Northeastern. This secures your enrollment and transition activities. If you are an international student, your enrollment deposit includes the $250 international student fee. This fee covers a variety of services and programs to sup-port international student life on campus.

DeadlinesYour nonrefundable enrollment deposit is due by the date indicated in the admission letter you received online. Your place in the class will be reserved only if you submit your deposit by this date. The deadline for freshmen to guarantee a place in the class and to secure housing is May 1, 2014.

How to Submit Your DepositOnline: The fastest and easiest way for you to submit your nonrefundable enrollment deposit is to pay online through the Admitted Student Portal at myNEU.neu.edu. Paying online is the preferred method. (See the Staying in Contact booklet for details on the portal.)By mail: For details on how to pay your enrollment deposit by mail, please contact Admissions at admissions@neu.edu.

FINALIZING YOUR ENROLLMENTWithout exception, all students must successfully complete their current academic program and sub-mit all final transcripts. High-school students must also submit proof of graduation, which is typically found on the final high-school transcript. Failure to submit your final high-school transcript may impact your financial aid or scholarship award. Failure to successfully complete your current academic pro-gram in good standing could result in a decision to rescind your offer of admission. Disciplinary issues that have occurred since admission, at Northeastern’s New Student Orientation programs, during Move-in, or prior to the official start of the semester, must be fully disclosed as terms of admis-sions. Northeastern reserves the right to rescind your offer of admission or engage in any appropri-ate disciplinary action related to these issues.

Sending Academic InformationAfter you submit your deposit, please send the following information, if applicable, as soon as possible:

• Final high-school transcript (required)• Advanced Placement test results• International Baccalaureate exam results• New or updated SAT/ACT scores• National Merit Finalist, National Achievement or

National Hispanic documentation (if applicable)• Official secondary-school national exam results • Updated TOEFL/IELTS results• Submit required financial documentation via myISSI (International Students)• Change-of-address information (you can do

Room and board charges may differ, depending on room type and meal plan. See the Financing booklet in this folder for more information.

MEAL PLANSVarious meal plan options are available, including plans offering 19, 15, or 10 meals per week. All students residing in traditional residence halls or suite-style residence halls are initially billed for the 15-meal plan. All freshmen residing in apartment-style accommodations are billed for a 5 -meal plan. You may change your meal plan online through the Admitted Student Portal at the “Self-Service” tab.

ACCESSIBILITYNortheastern, through the Disability Resource Center (DRC), has a long-standing commitment to support students with disabilities or who are deaf or hard of hearing, enabling them to participate fully in the life of the university.

DRC Services and AccommodationsServices are available for, but not limited to, stu-dents with the following documented diagnoses:

• Learning disabilities and/or AD(H)D • Asperger’s Syndrome and related disorders • Chronic or degenerative disorders • Hearing loss • Mobility impairments • Psychiatric disorders• Traumatic or acquired brain injury• Vision impairment

The DRC works with each student to make accom-modations that will allow him or her to compete on a level playing field. In keeping with current laws and national guidelines, eligibility for services is deter-mined by review of recent, comprehensive diagnostic information. Documentation must show a substantial limitation in one or more major life activities.

Transfer and international studentsYou’ll find specific important information on your dead-lines and processes, which can be different from dates mentionted here at myNEU.neu.edu. Be sure to read the information closely.

Registering with the Disability Resource Center (DRC)Since eligibility does not automatically transfer from high school to college, it is crucial to begin the registration process right away. Students should provide documentation to the DRC at their earli-est convenience to allow sufficient time for review. Students admitted for fall should send their docu-mentation to the DRC directly. For more informa-tion, to learn about documentation requirements, or to start the process, please contact us at:

Disability Resource Center 20 Dodge Hall Northeastern University 360 Huntington Ave. Boston, MA 02115 617.373.2675 (voice) Contact DRC via Relay 711 617.373.7800 (fax) northeastern.edu/drc

Learning Disabilities ProgramIn addition to the free services offered at the DRC, the Learning Disabilities Program (LDP) offers a comprehensive program. It best serves students with learning disabilities and AD(H)D who would like additional, individualized support and who are com-mitted to improving their academic skills, better understanding their disability, and becoming more effective learners.

In the LDP, students meet with a learning disabili-ties specialist for regularly scheduled appointments twice a week. This regular schedule of individual meetings ensures the dynamic, personal, and inten-sive character that makes the program successful. Content for tutorials is drawn directly from the student’s course work. While all colleges provide mandated accommodations for students with learn-ing disabilities and attention deficit disorder, and a few schools offer structured programs, the special-ized, professional program offered at Northeastern is extremely rare. The LDP is a fee-based service. Students must apply for admission by completing the program application form, available online at northeastern.edu/uhcs/ldp/apply.html. Interested students are invited to contact the LDP directly at 617.373.4526.

Accessible HousingNortheastern provides accessible housing in the residence halls that support a variety of needs. Please see the Housing booklet for more information.

types of Living Learning communities, housing, and more

Housing

Living right in the heart of Boston is an exciting part of the Northeastern experience. And our on-campus housing options will allow you to get the most out of that experience—connecting you with people who share similar interests, fostering friendships that will last a lifetime, and fueling your intellectual growth.

All first year students have more than 20 Living Learning Communities (LLC) to choose from that is at the heart of residential living at Northeastern University. Living Learning Communities provide opportunities for you to live with people of similar interests - whether that be of a personal interest or interest within a specific field of study.

Living LeArning communitiesAn LLC is a welcoming home away from home, where you can explore ideas and activities alongside students who share your passions. Our LLCs offer a quintessential residential college experience, cou-pled with a meaningful support system to help you maximize your academic and experiential pursuits.

Whether you want to explore a new culture, col-laborate on media projects, or live more sustain- ably, you’ll have plenty of LLCs to choose from. Community sizes vary. Typically, an LLC occupies a residence hall floor or partial floor, and is led by a resident assistant.

cHoosing An LLcAs an incoming freshman, you will be asked to choose three LLC preferences on your housing application. If you are requesting a roommate, please be sure your request is mutual and you both select the same LLC preferences.

AvAiLAbiLityLLCs are available for freshmen beginning in the fall, and for transfer students as space opens up. While it is likely that you will be placed in the LLC of your preference, openings can be limited. Therefore, you will be asked to submit a second and third choice. LLCs are open to all majors. To choose your LLC option, refer to the housing application on myNEU.

Billing, payment plans, financial assistance, and more

FinAncing

FinAnciAL resourcesThere are four methods of meeting the cost of your education: paying from your family income and sav-ings, the Northeastern University Monthly Payment Plan, financial aid, and supplemental loans. No mat-ter which option or combination of options you choose, you should strive to reduce the overall cost of your education by:

• Paying as much as you can out of your current income and savings as the bill becomes due, or by using the monthly payment plan.

• Using student loans that have been awarded through the financial aid process (e.g., the Federal Perkins, Nursing, Health Professions, and Stafford subsidized and unsubsidized loans) before considering other types of loans.

• Minimizing borrowing whenever possible. The less interest you pay on the money you borrow, the lower your total cost will be.

e-BiLL inFormAtionNortheastern University uses an online billing and payment system. All Northeastern students and authorized third parties, such as parents, guardians, or sponsors, must view billing statements electroni-cally. Students and any authorized third parties will be notified via their myNEU account whenever an e-bill is generated.

PAyment PLAnThe university offers interest-free monthly pay-ment plans administered through TuitionPay. The extended-payment plan allows families to divide the annual cost into nine, ten, or eleven monthly payments, depending on when the student enrolls in the program. More information is available at tuitionpay.salliemae.com/northeastern.

determining AWArd AmountsYour offer of financial assistance is based on a number of factors. We begin with the estimated cost of education. From this, we subtract the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is calculated from information you submitted on the FAFSA and PROFILE forms, to arrive at your financial need. In addition to the need component, Northeastern recognizes a student’s academic merit when awarding institutional grant funds.

We’re here to help as you and your family plan how

Services office is committed to doing its best to make

Find information on grants and scholarships at northeastern.edu/financialaid/grants-scholarships

costsInformation about charges for 2014–2015 will be avail-able in spring 2014. Whether you choose four or five years for your undergraduate degree, you will only pay tuition for the academic experience (tuition is not charged for the experiential education periods). If you choose to live on campus during co-op, you will be responsible for room and board charges.

AccePting your oFFerWe do not require that you officially accept your offer of assistance. We will assume that you accept the entire aid package unless you specifically notify us in writing that you wish to decline all or part of the award.

rePorting outside AssistAnceIf you will be receiving any forms of assistance not listed on your offer (such as a scholarship from a high school or other organization), you must notify us of this additional resource. Outside awards will be added to your aid package, and will be applied first to unmet financial need. We will replace loans and/or work-study, and will reduce institutional grants and/or scholarships as a last resort.

veriFicAtion oF dAtAApproximately one-third of all financial aid appli-cants are selected by either the U.S. Department of Education or Northeastern’s Student Financial Services office to verify the accuracy of information provided. If you have been selected for verification, your offer of assistance is tentative, pending the completion of the verification process. Upon receipt of the required materials, we will finalize the review of your application for financial aid. If documentation is not received by May 1, 2014, your offer of assistance could be canceled.

Should the verified financial information differ significantly from the original information provided, your aid may have to be adjusted. Please be sure to respond to requests for follow-up documentation in a timely manner.

tyPes oF FinAnciAL AssistAnceThe three major types of financial aid are grants, loans, and work earnings. Grants are a form of aid that does not have to be repaid; loans must be repaid. Money from both grants and loans is applied directly to your tuition bill. The money you earn from work is intended to help you with expenses during the academic year. These earnings are not credited to your tuition bill.

About Financial Aid AwardsReview of Data We will review the Free Application for Federal Student

Aid (FAFSA) and CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE data of all

first-year students who have made a deposit. If it is de-

termined that there are discrepancies, additional docu-

ments may be requested to resolve the inconsistencies.

If necessary, we will recalculate your aid eligibility using

the correct data. In some cases, we will revise the origi-

nal offer, and a new offer of financial assistance

will be sent to you.

Finding Info Online Information about your financial aid application

or offer can be viewed at the Application Status Check

on myNEU.neu.edu. Select the “Self-Service” button,

and then “My Financial Aid Status.”

Changes in Financial Circumstances We recognize that a family’s income is not always

consistent from one year to the next, and that circum-

stances beyond a family’s control may inhibit the ability

to contribute to educational expenses. Therefore, we

welcome the opportunity to discuss any change in your

family’s financial status that is not reflected on the

FAFSA and PROFILE forms.

grAntsMore detailed information on all types of financial assistance is available at northeastern.edu/financialaid.

northeastern institutional Funding Merit Scholarships Northeastern University awards merit scholarships to select students within the top 25 percent of freshmen admitted to the university.

Need-Based Grants and ScholarshipsMost grants and nonmerit scholarships funded by Northeastern require that a student demonstrate financial need.

northeastern’s Financial PromiseWe are dedicated to maintaining our commitment to

students as they participate in Northeastern’s unique

educational experience. That is why we have created

the Financial Promise. Under the Financial Promise, we

guarantee the following:

1. Northeastern University grant and scholarship funds

are guaranteed not to be reduced (for up to eight

in-class semesters).*

2. Northeastern University need-based grant funds will

be increased annually at the same percentage rate as

the increase in tuition.

3. If your family experiences a substantial negative

change in financial circumstances, we will reevaluate

your aid package and make available all financial

resources for which you qualify.

* Students must file the FAFSA each year and meet

satisfactory academic progress standards to be eli-

gible for Northeastern University grant funds. Students

must maintain the minimum cumulative GPA required

to be eligible for any scholarship funds.

LoAnsFederal Perkins LoansYou must demonstrate financial need and meet the priority filing date for consideration, as funds are limited.

Federal Stafford LoansThese may be subsidized, unsubsidized, or a com-bination of both. With a need-based subsidized loan, the federal government pays the interest that accrues while you are in school. On a non-need-based unsubsidized loan, interest accrues while you are in school.

Supplemental FinancingThere are a number of educational loan programs available to assist you in covering your expenses over and above any financial aid that may be awarded to you.

FederAL Work-studyThis program assists students in securing part-time employment on campus, or at an approved off-campus agency, to help pay for incidental expenses during the year.

You will have the flexibility to create your own customized global experiences. Access to a team of mentors and advisors assembled from key university leaders will help you shape your undergraduate experiences, ultimately preparing you for a future of accomplishment and leadership.

Unlimited Opportunity to InnovateHigh-achieving students are frequently intrigued by an expansive range of interrelated disciplines. You want to explore, to dream, and to discover. The program recognizes and builds upon that.

Making Tomorrow HappenIn addition to intellectually demanding coursework, you may choose to participate in cutting edge research and creative projects with distinguished university faculty members. You’ll be encouraged to contribute new topics and to make curriculum and research recommendations that advance and create knowledge. You will have the opportunity to take part in specialized local and global service-learning opportunities and civic engagement projects centered on your individual interest. The options are limited only by your vision and creativity.

Customized Global ExperiencesYour undergraduate experience will not be limited to your studies in Boston or pre-defined study abroad programs. University Scholars can create unique global experiences ranging from individualized overseas destinations, themes, and courses led by Northeastern faculty to the option of an international year comprised of study abroad and co-op in the same location.

Personalized Advising and MentoringA team of mentors assembled from key university leaders – deans, department chairs, senior faculty, administrative leaders and Board of Trustee members – will help guide and shape your university experience. These are the supporters who will serve as an ongoing sounding board for you, assist with placement in your co-op selections, provide coaching when you are applying for graduate school and/or prestigious national scholarships and fellowships such as Rhodes, Marshall, and Fulbright, and ultimately help prepare you for a future of accomplishment and leadership in whatever you may chose.

Challenging, supporting, advising each other – University Scholars will become subject-matter experts, global citizens, valued collaborators, and influencers in expanding each other’s knowledge and worldview. These are the bonds that span careers and lifetimes and will enhance your career connections provided by your faculty mentors and Northeastern’s powerful alumni network.

We recognize your talents and potential. We believe in your abilities to enact positive change in this world, and we believe you will be the recognized thought leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs of the future.
