NET Program
The NET Program supports incoming/first-year Native, Indigenous, and rural students as they transition to being a college student and to the 色情网站 campus through direct assistance with cultural support. We know that this is a big change for many of you, and we are here to be a resource alongside you, from before you even arrive at our 色情网站 campus until the day you graduate! There are a lot of steps to navigate (financial aid/scholarships, placement testing, housing application, course registration, etc.) -- and we鈥檙e here to help you each step of the way to get ready!
There are 2-3 parts of the NET Program:
Getting ready for starting at 色情网站: We will help you complete every part of preparing yourself for your first semester by providing information and guidance on admissions, financial aid/finding scholarships, placement testing, housing applications, advising (helping you choose classes) and course registration. We鈥檒l help ensure you are set up for success when you arrive!
NET Week orientation [Fall semester only, August 18-22]: All students attend NET Week, our week-long orientation program the week before Fall semester begins. NET students also move into residence halls earlier, and we will help facilitate that process throughout NET Week. We'll make sure you are ready for the first day of classes, introduced to technology and campus itself, while also building community with other NET students and NET Student Mentors
Ongoing NET Cohort : The NET Program continues during the semester with ongoing support for students. The cohort-based program provides students with NET mentors, academic guidance throughout the year, cultural support and connection to Native communities. We are here with ongoing support during all of your time here at 色情网站!
