Student Enrollment Guide

Enrollment is required for students to activate their NEHS memberships. The process is straightforward but, for those who need it, NEHS has created a video tutorial and a step-by-step guide to enrollment and one-time membership fee payment.

A separate guide to Accessing Student Membership Certificates in NEHS Connect is available.
