Students (in-state and out-of-state) desiring to transfer to Northwestern State University must have a transferable Associate Degree or higher from an accredited institution. Transfer students who have not earned the Associate Degree or higher from an accredited institution will be eligible for admission to a degree program if they meet the following Minimum Admission Criteria:
OFFICIAL transcripts should be requested from the Registrar at each institution attended and mailed directly to the Office of Admissions.
No student will be admitted if under scholastic or disciplinary suspension from another college or university. A suspended student will not be considered for admission until the suspension period has been completed; where such period is not clearly defined, it will equal a period comparable to rules in place at NSU.
