Transfer Admission @ Northwestern State University
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:
- Students must have earned at least 12 hours of College Level Courses (non-developmental)
- Students must have earned a 2.0 minimum GPA on College Level Courses (non-developmental)
- Students must be eligible to return to the institution from which they are transferring
- Students desiring to transfer with the minimum GPA on College Level Courses , but fewer than the minimum College Level hours earned, must ALSO meet the Freshman Admission Criteria in order to be admitted as a transfer student
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.
