Exchanges are normally open to students during the second or third year of their program. Students in their graduating year will be considered on an individual basis.
Preference will be given to students whose average is 75% or higher. However, students whose average is 70-74% may be considered for an exchange.
Nipissing will grant a full complement of 30 credits for a full-time year (or 15 credits for one full-time semester) in an exchange program.
Nipissing will approve the student’s application for graduation when after returning, the student completes all possible discipline specific requirements in the time required to complete the total number of credits for that degree.
Students who are accepted for an exchange program and have qualified for a scholarship will receive the scholarship during the exchange year as if they were studying on campus. Students who earn scholarships and awards at Nipissing University and choose to study abroad remain eligible for such awards upon their return to Nipissing, provided they are successful.
