How do course credits transfer from semesters to quarters and vice versa so that they will be applied appropriately to my home school's transcripts?
At schools on the quarter system, a 3 credit course = 2 semester credits. At schools on the semester system, a 3 credit course = 4.5 quarter credits. (For each semester credit taken, multiply x 1.5 to obtain the number of quarter credits.) Once the course is completed, a transcript will be sent from the teaching school, where you took the course, to your home school where your credits will be appropriately converted.

If I am enrolling in a degree applicable class through NEXus for another school, can that course be included when determining my financial aid at my home school?
You should contact your home school's financial aid office to see if there is a possibility of a consortium agreement. A consortium agreement allows a school to include a degree applicable course at another school with the home school's courses in determining and disbursing financial aid. If a consortium agreement is possible, the home school's financial aid office will have additional instructions/paperwork that you would need to complete each term that a class is approved to have it included when determining your financial aid.

Does each institution have the same enrollment and registration dates?
No. Dates for course registration and enrollment vary from institution to institution. It is important to confirm deadlines and enroll prior to deadline dates to ensure you can obtain a spot in the course. Spaces are limited for NEXus students so enrolling early is to your benefit. Contact your campus staff coordinator to get started.

What do I need to do if I have to drop a course?
You are responsible to adhere to the teaching institution's policies and procedures related to dropping a course. The amount of refund is based on the teaching institution's drop dates. Verify these dates when enrolling at the teaching institution. It is also your responsibility to notify the home Campus Staff Coordinator and your faculty advisor of the change in addition to any other department which may be affected by your decrease in course enrollment such as the financial aid office. If you have any questions check with your Campus Staff Coordinator.
