Important 2020-2021 Residence Life Dates
NEC has completed the process to re-envision what on-campus housing should look like for the academic year in order to best support student health and well-being during the pandemic! We thoroughly appreciate all of your patience and flexibility while we finalized plans and procedures. Please feel free to visit our Welcome Back NEC website with updated information about how the new year will flow at NEC.
Note for Rising Juniors, Rising Seniors, Current Graduate Students, and Incoming Graduate Students: In order to gauge further interests and anticipated changes in plans related to the pandemic, we are opening a Housing 2020-2021 Waitlist. There is no guarantee of entry into on-campus housing, as the priority is still for first-year and second-year NEC students per current residency requirements. If you are an incoming first-year or transfer undergraduate student, please DO NOT complete the waitlist form.
Dates are subject to change. Please continue to check back for updates.
