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.

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 theCommons, 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.

Social Media

Engage with the Seminary community through your favorite social networks or the Seminary blog. Like and follow these pages to stay connected with fellow students and alumni, hear from thought leaders, and get quick access to new ministry resources. Submit student news or contribute to the Seminary blog by emailing seminary@nes.edu.
