Transfer Policy

NU students must submit official transcripts from previously attended post-secondary institutions. NU students submitting transcripts from international institutions must have an official evaluation from a DETC (Distance Education and Training Council). The deadline for official transcripts and/or evaluations is prior to the first day of the second quarter/term of study. Students’ initial degree plans or schedules may change upon the receipt of official transcripts and/or international credential evaluation(s). Students may be allowed to apply for transfer credits from external institutions after the first term of study at the discretion of the appropriate academic administrator. Once students are in the last session of their degree program, no PLA credit will be awarded. Students currently enrolled at NU or reentry students must seek prior approval from the appropriate academic administrator should they enroll in a course with the intention to apply transfer credit.

Following are general policies for the evaluation and award of transfer credit at each NU campus:

1. Earned degrees from accredited institutions with articulation agreements with NU can be evaluated for block transfer.
2. All other official college and military transcripts are evaluated on a course-by-course basis in accordance with NU policies.
3. Only undergraduate courses completed with a “C” (or equivalent) or above will be eligible for transfer credit at the undergraduate level. This assumes at least a 2.0 on a 4.0 grading scale.
4. Only courses representing freshman-level or higher collegiate, degree-applicable course work will be eligible for transfer credit which excludes pre college level or remedial level courses.
5. Comparable course-to-course transfer may be approved from accredited institutions based on demonstrated learning competencies consistent with NU’s academic policies and standards in lieu of credit requirements.
6. Transfer credit from other institutions may not exceed 12 credits at the graduate level. Only graduate level courses completed with a “B” (or equivalent) or above will be eligible for transfer credit at the graduate level. This assumes at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 grading scale. Graduate applicants should contact the Prior Learning Office for institutional processes concerning the transfer of academic credit.
7. Students enrolled in undergraduate degree programs must complete a minimum of 25 percent of their degree program credits in residence in order to qualify for graduation from NU. Courses that do not apply toward program requirements may not be used in the calculation for residency requirement of 25 percent of the total number of credits for the student’s program of study.
8. Notwithstanding the above policies and procedures, all transferred course credit is subject to review and approval by Academic Affairs.
9. Any degree plans or schedules are tentative pending the receipt of official transcripts.
10. Academic certificate programs have a transfer credit limit of two courses.

Many adult learners have acquired formal training outside of credit-granting institutions, such as military training or company training with officially documented clock hours/continuing education units (CEUs). Many of these programs carry American Education Council (AEC) recognition and credit recommendations and will be accepted according to NU academic credit equivalency requirements. Other documented training measured in clock hours, CEUs, or other units may be evaluated for prior learning assessment credit awards based on appropriate credit conversions.

Students that have acquired formal training outside of the sponsorship of traditional credit-granting institutions (including certificate training with officially documented clock hours or CEUs, or other company training) may be eligible for proficiency credit awards. If the training in question is documented, verifiable, and meets specified NU course objectives, it may meet the requirements for an award of proficiency credit (designated by a grade of “PR”). Other clock hour or CEU programs and courses listed on an official institutional transcript may have a credit award based on appropriate credit conversions through the same internal review process.

If a student has already completed professional training/certification, they should submit documentation to the Registrar’s Office.
