All exchange semesters at Northern Michigan University begin with an official nomination from an international officer at your home university. Once your nomination has been accepted by NMU and you have received permission from your home university, you are ready to apply to one of our exchange programs. All documents must be submitted through the home university international officer. NMU will not accept documents directly from a student.
