Transferring to NSU from a State System Institution

*Transfer student: any undergraduate student with greater than six attempted credit hours, excluding remedial (0-level courses) or pre-college work and excluding credit hours accumulated by concurrently enrolled high school students.

Students lacking curricular requirements are admissible into associate programs in the community colleges but must remove the deficiencies at the earliest possible time within the first 24 hours attempted. In addition, students must remove curricular deficiencies in a discipline area before taking collegiate level work in that discipline.

If you are an undergraduate student who wishes to transfer from a State System institution to NSU may do so under the following conditions:

  1. If you originally met both the high school curricular requirements and academic performance standards, you must have a grade-point average high enough to meet the current retention standards.
  2. If you originally met the high school curricular requirements but not the academic performance standards, you must have a grade-point average high enough to meet the current retention standards based on at least 24 attempted semester credit hours of regularly graded (A, B, C, D, F) college work.
  3. If you originally met the performance standards but not the curricular requirements, you must have a grade-point average high enough to meet the current retention standards and must also have completed the curricular requirements before transferring.
  4. If you originally met neither the curricular requirements nor the performance standards, you must have a grade-point average high enough to meet the current retention standards based on at least 24 attempted semester credit hours of regularly graded (A, B, C, D, F) college work and must also have completed the curricular requirements before transferring.

Transfer Probation

Students who do not meet the academic criteria including curricular requirements as noted above, but have not been formally suspended, may be admitted as "transfer probation" students. Institutions may develop policies and procedures, subject to State Regents approval, to guide the admission of transfer students who do not meet the requirements. Such policies should include that these students are admitted on probation and must maintain a 2.0 grade point average each semester while on probation or raise their cumulative GPA to the designated level, as detailed in retention standards. Any "transfer probation" student with curricular deficiencies must remove the deficiencies within the first 12 hours of enrollment. Additionally, it is expected that institutions provide the appropriate academic support services to assist such students in achieving academic success.
