Application Deadline
Applications for the 2012-2013 school year are due by February 15, 2012. Catalogs and applications are available in 102 Sullivan Hall.

Placement
Most placements for the following year are made at an NSE conference in early March. Annually, approximately 97% of the applicants are placed at one of their campus choices. Placement probabilities are governed by the number of openings at an institution and the number of students seeking the location. At the March 2011 conference, 100% of NC State applicants were placed at their first or second choice school.

After Placement
Placements are confirmed by signing a Placement Acceptance Form that will be sent to your host campus. Upon receipt of that form, the host coordinator will forward enrollment materials which usually include a housing application, an institutional admissions form, and registration information. All forms must be completed and returned by stated deadlines. At the end of the term preceding exchange you must have maintained all eligibility requirements applicable at the time of application. You must also complete a written advising agreement governing work to be completed at your host campus.
