The School of Education and Social Policy (SESP) provides our undergraduates with a comprehensive, user-friendly student handbook. Students who become familiar with the handbook greatly enhance their ability to succeed at Northwestern!
The handbook contains important information on the following topics:
- SESP undergraduate curriculum
- SESP programs
- SESP and University policies
- University resources
- Degree planning documents
New students are expected to take the SESP handbook and online quiz to ensure that they are familiar with these important resources. The quiz may be done at the student's leisure (using the handbook as a resource while taking the quiz). As an incentive, the SESP Student Affairs Office offers prizes for those students who score 90 percent or better on the quiz. The quiz is given to students when they matriculate to SESP.
