Transfer students

Requirements and policies for applicants with prior college credit.

Transfer Students

Transfer students (those with previous college credits) are expected to have at least a 2.0 (C) GPA in all college level courses to be considered for admission to the University. Catalogs and official transcripts from previously attended colleges and universities must be furnished with the application for admission. Failure to provide either will disqualify the applicant. To be official, transcripts must be sent directly from each college attended to the NSU Registrar's Office. Hand carried transcripts and transcripts sent by students are unofficial, even though they may carry the college seal or signatures.

Credit Transfer

Candidate must sit for the admission test (if local candidate) or admission waived (International or waiver policy)
Transcripts with Courses Outline from all previously attended institutions must be submitted to the department.
Only credits on which a student has earned a grade of C or above will be transferable to NSU.
For purposes of transferring credits, Directors of programs and Chairs of departments will determine the equivalence of courses and may also refer cases to the Equivalence Committee if needed.
Transferred credits and grades are not included in calculating the GPA at NSU.

Note: A student may transfer a maximum of 60 credits earned at previously attended colleges and universities toward NSU degrees.
