Executive Residencies
A weekend of learning, connecting, and networking.



What are residencies? ♦
 
Residencies are the required in-person (synchronous) part of our Executive programs at the NEC campus in Henniker, NH and are held one weekend per term. Residencies are an intensive learning experience where you will spend 19 hours learning course materials with your classmates over 3 days. This is a requirement of the program. 
      ♦ When are residencies?

♦ Disability Services ♦

Students who may need disability-related accommodations are encouraged to review the information on the Office of Disability (ODS) Services SharePoint site (Note: you will need to be logged into your NEC Microsoft account to access the SharePoint site). If you have a condition that may interfere with your ability to access the programs or services of New England College while you’re here for your residency, you should reach out to the Office of Disability Services to discuss potential reasonable accommodations. Students are welcome to either email ODS at disabilityservices@nec.edu or use the ODS scheduling link to book a time to talk through their concerns with ODS staff. The Office of Disability Services is a small office working with students across all of NEC’s programs. As such, we encourage you to begin working with the Office of Disability Services as soon as possible, preferably no later than 2 weeks prior to your arrival date or as soon as the need is realized. This will allow us to ensure that we are able to meet your access needs in a timely manner.
To request disability-related accommodations, students should:

The following medical facilities are located in the area: (16-20 miles south)

Concord Hospital - Emergency Care and Concord Hospital Med Offices at Horseshoe Pond (Walk-in urgent care center)

Dartmouth Health - (Concord walk-in by appointment weekdays, telemed 24/7)

AirBnB
 
Many students find that renting an AirBnB is easiest and can often find homes or apartments close to campus. Additionally, students may choose to rent a house together to split the costs. You can search AirBnB here: AirBnB.
 
 
 
Driving around campus
New England College is in a rural area and the safety of our students is of utmost importance to us. Please be sure to pay attention and adhere to speed limits to ensure the safety of yourself and others. 

Weather
 
We strongly suggest that you remain up-to-date when winter weather may impact our on-campus operations. The College sends out information about class cancellations (or delays and early closings) in several ways – we send updates to NEC email addresses, we post updates on our local TV station (www.wmur.com), and we send messages via our emergency text service.  In the event of a closing, students who have NEC meal plans can check the email announcement for information on any changes to meal times
