Step-by-Step Guide To Transferring
- Complete the application for admission and submit it to the Office of Admissions. To obtain an application, call the Office of Admissions at (800) 633-1175 or apply online. There is no application fee if you apply online. Those who apply by paper must send a $25 application fee, which is refunded after you enroll.
- Have official transcripts sent from all other colleges and universities you have attended. In addition, if you are currently enrolled at a college or university, please request that a final transcript be sent at the completion of the semester or quarter.
- Check to see that you have a minimum 2.00 or "C" grade-point average.
- You must have this to transfer. If not, you may be reviewed for probationary status. If you transfer with fewer than 24 credit hours, you also will need to supply a high school transcript and ACT or SAT scores for evaluation.
- If you are an education major, you must have your ACT or SAT scores sent to Northwest to be eligible for certification and admission to the professional teacher education program.
- Visit Transferring Credit to Northwest for a list of articulation agreements with two-year schools. A Course Equivalency tool also is available to see which classes transfer to Northwest. If your school or the information you need is not available, call us at 800.633.1175.
- Once the admission decision has been made and you have been accepted, make sure you have your financial aid transcripts sent from the college or university you attend.
- Read all correspondence from Northwest. Information to follow will include residential life, transfer orientation, registration, fees and scholarships.
