Update Your Student Status

Before departure, make sure your status with Northwestern offices is up-to-date and problem-free:

• Change your NetID password to ensure that it remains active the entire time you are abroad. (Passwords need to be changed every four months).
  
  You can set a new NetID password online at the NUIT Set New NetID Password web page. Don't forget to write your password down so you don't forget it!
• If you have a non-Northwestern e-mail account, forward all of your incoming mail to your Northwestern e-mail account.
  
  You can do this on the NUIT Forwarding/Redirecting your E-mail web page.
• Change your contact information to your permanent/billing address, so that offices on campus will send any important materials to your parents.
  You can do this on the NUIT Edit Your Directory Information web page.
• Pay any outstanding fees you may have from Student Accounts, Student Loans, or the library.
  
  If you don't, there will be a hold placed on your registration and you won't be able to register for Northwestern courses from abroad.
• Do not register yourself for NU courses for the term you will be abroad.
  
  The Study Abroad Office will enroll you in a study abroad placeholder course so you can remain a full-time Northwestern student.
