It’s finally happening. Students are being asked, at long last, to raise their hands. Yesterday afternoon, Academic Advisement sent out an email with a link asking students to express their interest in continuing their education with Northeastern once the merger is complete. 

Once accessed, the link leads to a Northeastern.edu page tagged “MMCoptin,” where students are asked whether or not they consent to Northeastern accessing their academic record. Filling out the form will not be taken as a commitment to Northeastern. According to a Marymount representative, Northeastern’s intention is to learn which Marymount students are interested in becoming NU-NYC students. 

The page does not state whether declining to consent means students will not be able to transition into Northeastern students. According to the email, opting into the information sharing is meant to provide interested students with specific information about their options in the future.

As of right now, there is no available information on what will happen to Marymount students who do not complete the form come time of the merger.

There does not appear to be a deadline to complete this form. Students interested in filling out or viewing the form for themselves can find the link here.
