Communications
Maintaining effective communications with students in an online, non-residential, or commuting environment is often a challenge. Northeastern Seminary 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 Seminary students are assigned a campus email account upon enrollment. This account may be reached through any network browser or through theCommons, the Seminary's internal website. 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.
theCommons
TheCommons is Northeastern Seminary’s internal website. All current students have access to it through the Seminary website (www.nes.edu). Students must use their Seminary login and password. TheCommons provides students access to multiple resources including: course sites, course planning resources, calendars, schedules, syllabi, and forms. TheCommons provides access to online registration and grade reports via the R-Serve link, financial aid, news, tutorials and many more resources. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with theCommons early on as they will be expected to utilize its resources throughout their years at the Seminary.
NEwSPOINT Newsletter
Students receive 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 at theCommons.
ResOund Newsletter
This quarterly 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 Seminary website and at theCommons.
Northeastern Seminary 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 Northeastern Seminary.
