Q What does the university mean that it will “hold harmless” students who are going through the semester transition?
A It means that the university’s expectations of and commitment to current students remains the same as when they first entered Northeastern. That will not change as a result of semester conversion. The university has always – and will continue to – expect students to meet with their advisors to plan their courses, pass their classes, meet their college and major requirements, fulfill their co-op obligations and pay their tuition and housing bills on time. In return, the university promises students that their graduation timetable and cumulative cost of tuition to earn their degree will remain unchanged, though the university will continue to experience normal annual tuition increases.
