Transcript Review

REQUEST A TRANSCRIPT REVIEW

Complete your degree at NU

  1. Will NU accept my credit?In most cases, yes! We want to give you as much credit as possible for your work completed at another institution. And we’ve structured our general education requirements to accommodate transfer students. For example, although most degrees requires 9 semester credits of Social Science, you may instead choose any combination of two disciplines: Business, Communication, Education, Management, and more. With flexibility you can enjoy more of the classes you want while still completing your degree on time. Some programs have prescriptive requirements, like Education and Nursing, so ask an Admissions Counselor to guide you on the fastest path.
  2. How long will it take to complete my degree?NU is transfer friendly, accepting lots of credit! Please contact an Admissions Counselor for an unofficial transcript review. Your unofficial transcript review will approximate the time required to complete your degree at NU, and which classes you need. We will even conduct an unofficial review of your credits before you submit an application! Email [email protected] for more information.
  3. Do you offer credit for AP, IB, CLEP, Dantes, military training, or prior learning?Yes! You may earn credit that is transferrable to Northwest University from a variety of sources. Northwest University offers credit for successful completion of CLEP, AP, IB, and Dantes exams, in addition to military training (provided it is reflected on an official transcript) and prior learning, through the Prior Learning Assessment (PLA). For detailed information regarding earning credit at Northwest University from these sources, you can consult our Transfer Guide, or contact an Admissions Counselor at [email protected].
