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 tuition 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 tuition 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 tuition 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. How to Submit Your Deposit Online: 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 [email protected].

FINALIZING YOUR ENROLLMENTWithout exception, all students must successfully complete their current academic program and sub-mit all college transcripts. Failure to submit your final college transcript(s) may impact your credit standing at Northeastern. Failure to successfully complete your current academic program 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 admissions. Northeastern reserves the right to rescind your offer of admission or engage in any appropriate disciplinary action related to these issues.

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

• Advanced Placement test results• International Baccalaureate exam results• 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

this on the Admitted Student Portal)• College transcripts from any previous or

Students who are granted a deferral must submit a nonrefundable enrollment deposit to secure their place for the future term. Deferral requests must be submitted by July 1, 2014, through the “Self-Service” tab on the Admitted Student Portal.

COSTS Actual charges for 2014–2015 will be available in spring 2014. Students pay the equivalent of four years (eight semesters) of tuition whether they pursue a four- or five-year program. 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.

Page 11: Northeastern University Domestic Transfer Admit Pack

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 one institution to another, it is crucial to begin the registration process right away. Students should provide documentation to the DRC at their earliest convenience to allow sufficient time for review. Students admitted for fall should send their documentation to the DRC directly. For more information, to learn about documentation require-ments, 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 visit northeastern.edu/housing for more information.

Billing, payment plans, financial assistance, and more

FinAncing

Page 13: Northeastern University Domestic Transfer Admit Pack

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.

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.

Federal grants Federal Pell Grant Up to $5,645 (the maximum for 2013–2014) is awarded, on the basis of EFC.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant This grant is awarded directly from Student Financial Services to students who demonstrate exceptional need.

state grantsMany states offer support to students who meet specific qualifications. If we have added a state grant to your award, it reflects our best estimate of your eligibility.

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.
