Academic advisors within the Office of Academic and Student Affairs collaborate with faculty, studio instructors, department chairs, and other campus partners to support students throughout their academic journey at NEC.

Current and incoming students have access to the Student Resources website — a regularly updated hub for academic information, policies, guides, deadlines, campus resources, and other tools that support academic life at NEC.
