Complete Vector Trainings
Incoming NEC students are required to complete certain training modules at the start of their degree. Failure to complete these training modules will result in a Vector hold on your PowerCampus account that will prevent you from registering for Spring semester courses.
If you are an undergraduate student, you are required to take an AlcoholEDU module and a Sexual Misconduct Prevention module. Both of these modules also have a short questionnaire after their completion.
If you are a graduate student, you are required to take a Sexual Misconduct Prevention course, and a short questionnaire after the completion of the module.
Please note that both Part 1 and Part 2 must be completed by the end of the first semester of your program. Sooner rather than later is preferable.
Access VECTOR HERE. Your username (in most circumstances) is the same username you use to login to your OneLogin portal. If your Vector username differs from your OneLogin username, you should have received an email from Vector with your account information. Your password is the first 5 characters of your username.

Undergraduate Curriculum Updates for Fall 2024
Greetings from the Office of Academic Affairs!
Thank you to all those who attended our Info Sessions regarding undergraduate curriculum updates over the last two weeks. We appreciate your taking the time to join us, ask questions, and share your thoughts.
For those who were unable to attend, we have compiled a summary of the major points of the curriculum updates here. It's a great idea to bookmark this page for future reference since our office regularly posts important information there, including what you will need to know for Advising & Registration.
We are excited to see these positive changes go into effect in the Fall 2024 semester, and if you have any questions or concerns about impacts to your schedule and degree completion plan, we are here to help you find answers. Rest assured that, even with these changes, ALL students will be able to meet their curricular requirements and complete their degrees as planned. Our team is looking forward to working with you through this period of transition.
