Welcome Transfer Students

Things to do before arriving on campus

1. Request that your AP scores and your final semester grades from your previous institution be sent to the NU Registrar. Consult our AP/IB table to see how your scores will count.

2. Acquire campus syllabi and course descriptions (and course reading lists, if not otherwise noted) for any college classes that you’ve taken in your proposed major or minor.

3. Have you satisfied the language proficiency requirement? Consult our chart, Wildcat Welcome's placement exam information, and Council on Language Instruction's website to determine where you stand.
