National Student Exchange

National Student Exchange (NSE) gives University of Idaho students the opportunity to attend one of 175 colleges or universities throughout the United States for one or two semesters. U of I students pay U of I fees or the resident fees of their host campus. Students generally need to apply by February for the next academic year. Credits earned on NSE fulfill University of Idaho residence-credit requirements.

To qualify for participation in the NSE, a student should

  1. be a full-time University of Idaho student;
  2. be a sophomore, junior, or senior at the time of exchange; and
  3. have a U of I grade-point average of 2.5 at the time the application is filed.

Information and applications may be obtained from the International Programs Office either in person on the ground floor of LLC Building #3 or via phone at 208-885-0858.
