STUDENT ELIGIBILITY and
POLICY
OF NON-DISCRIMINATION
Participants do not necessarily have to come from an institution
that offers a study abroad program.
Selection is based on academic
achievement as well as seriousness
of purpose and individual stability and maturity. Therefore
the GPA (Grade Point Average) is important and it is requested
on the on-line application form, but it is not the only
issue taken into consideration.
To be eligible participants must have completed at least
two semesters of college or the equivalent and be at least
18 years of age.
NECA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability in its
policies and Programs.
TRANSFER
CREDIT and TRANSCRIPT
FROM DAEMEN COLLEGE, NY, USA
Upon successful completion of each course, enrolled students
earn transfer academic undergraduate credits (if not
through their home institution) through a transcript
of Daemen College, NY, USA.
Students can visit the NECA web page on the Daemen College
website:
www.daemen.edu/offices/global-programs/study-in-florence.php.
The update of this web page does not depend on NECA but
only on Daemen College staff. Since students will study
at NECA, not at Daemen College, please refer to the NECA
brochure file that NECA will e-mail you once you enquire.
Daemen College issues the transcript, all other issues depend
on
NECA.
The Daemen College transcript will include course titles
and numbers, grades, and credit hours. This transcript will
be sent directly to the student's home institution for transfer
credit from the Daemen College Registrar's Office.
Before coming to Florence students should check with
their home institution:
1) For the proper procedure regarding the transfer of credits.
2) If the courses that they will take at NECA fulfill their
degree requirements.
NECA is available to assist students with their enrollment
procedure by contacting their student advisors.
