Communications
Maintaining an effective communications link with students in a non-residential, commuting environment is often a challenge. NES has established the following means of staying in touch with its students and relaying special announcements, general information, and emergency notices.
Campus Email Accounts
All NES students are assigned a campus email account upon enrollment. This account may be reached through any network browser or through the NES intranet. This is the official means of electronic communication within the Seminary/College community. Students are responsible for all information sent to them from faculty and administrative offices via their campus email account. Students should check their campus email accounts on a daily basis for important announcements and messages regarding posting of grades, registration dates and changes, billing updates, scholarship opportunities, special events, school closing, etc.
NES Intranet
The intranet is Northeastern Seminary’s internal website. All current students have access to it through the NES website (www.nes.edu). Students must use their NES login and password. The intranet provides students access to multiple resources including: individual campus email folder and network storage space; program check sheets; master class schedule and registration forms; curriculum plans and sequence sheets; Core calendars; syllabi; course offering rotation sheet; online registration and grade reports via the R-Serve link; retreat information; financial aid and transcript links; student life committee minutes; past and current NES electronic newsletters; and many more. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the intranet early on as they will be expected to utilize its resources throughout their years at the Seminary.
NEwSPOINT Newsletter
Students receive all academic and student life communications from the Seminary via an electronic newsletter which is sent bi-weekly to all campus email accounts. The newsletter keeps students informed of all pertinent information, announcements, deadlines, events, syllabus postings, new course offerings, and so on. Back issues of the newsletter are archived on the NES intranet at www.nes.edu.
ResOund Newsletter
This bi-monthly publication features the people and programs of Northeastern Seminary by highlighting relevant ministry issues and challenges, classes and programs, ministry development opportunities, and the impact of students and graduates in the church and the world. Back issues of the newsletter are archived on the NES website at www.nes.edu.
NES Website
The Seminary website, www.nes.edu, offers students access to a broad array of services and information. Students should periodically browse the home page as it provides: easy access to the intranet; announcements of special upcoming events with links to details and registration forms where needed; links to numerous resources; and, it is also a great place to refer a friend or pastor who wants to know more about NES.
Student Mail Folders (Rochester site)
Student mail folders are located on the lower level of Roberts Hall (next to the elevator) in a two-drawer file cabinet. Students should check their mail folders on a weekly basis.
