The exchange student program refers to an agreement between Northeast Normal University (NENU) and overseas sister universities or collaborative institutions, allowing students to engage in academic exchange at each other's institutions. The allocation of exchange student slots is typically determined through negotiations between NENU and the partner institutions. Eligible students, after obtaining the recommendation from their home institutions and passing NENU's qualification review, can participate in a one-semester or one-year study program at NENU.

The funding support for exchange student programs is determined through discussions between NENU and the partner institutions. Typically, this support includes tuition waivers, meaning students do not have to pay tuition fees at NENU during the exchange period. Other expenses, such as accommodation, living costs, and travel expenses, are generally the responsibility of the students themselves or are subject to separate discussions.

Participating in exchange student programs helps broaden students' international perspectives, enhance their cross-cultural communication skills, and promote collaboration between educational institutions.
