All incoming undergraduate NLU students are required to attend a Fast Forward orientation session prior to beginning their program. The session is loaded with information on how the academic program and all of NLU's support services can help students reach their goals. Each Fast Forward session includes an informational component and a writing assessment. The information session helps students: learn what to expect from their classes and instructors; understand how their transfer credit applies to their NLU degree; plan for the completion of their remaining academic requirements and learn about a variety of options available at NLU to earn academic credit; and discover options for financing their education.
