NSE Checklist

When is the best time to participate in NSE?
What courses have you taken to fulfill your major/minor requirements and what courses do you still need to take? Can you take those at your host university?

Meet with your Advisor again and decide what courses you will take
Complete the Transfer Pre-Approval Request form and turn in to the Registrar’s Office
Is the school you are going to on the quarter system? If so keep in mind 1 quarter = 0.67 semester credits
All credit taken will transfer back and will be factored into your GPA if you have filled out your Transfer Pre-Approval Request form before you leave Western on exchange

Meet with Financial Aid after you have been accepted to discuss aid, loans, scholarships that will help finance your NSE term(s).
PLAN B = Pay WSC (out-of-state students must pay on Plan B)
PLAN A = Pay host university
Tuition and fees will be paid to WSC if you are paying on Plan B
All room, board, books, other fees will be paid to the host university
If on Plan B your bill must be paid by the 3rd day of the start of each semester in order to avoid late fees
Plan B must pay in full you can not use W-pay!
If you are on Plan B and are getting work study, your work study funds will NOT apply to the school you are going. Your financial aid package will reflect the loss of these funds. If you are on Plan A you must apply for financial aid from your host university.

Keep the NSE advisor in the know of everything! If you cancel or change anything please let the NSE advisor know.

Once you have registered for courses at your host university send a copy of your course schedule to the Registrar and your NSE advisor. You will retain access to WOL, your WSC e-mail, and will make registering for classes upon your return easier.
