TRANSFER STUDENTS
How can
I transfer from another university into NHU?
Transfer students will adhere to all admissions
procedures. A student will be considered a transfer student having
completed 30 semester units, or 45 quarter units of college level
coursework, with a C- or above in courses to be transferred in.
Can I
find out how many units are transferable?
If students are transferring from an institution that is
part of the California Community College System, those courses, which
have been designated as “University of California Transferable” or
“California State University Transferable”, will be accepted as
transferable to NHU.
Transferability of other courses will be considered
on a case-by-case basis. Normally, Physical Education courses and
Computer Science courses, which are more than 5 years old, are not
transferable.
Credit for undergraduate work completed at other
institutions may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements
for degrees at NHU. However, the work must be of acceptable
quality (i.e., courses with a letter grade of C- or better); be
comparable in nature, content and level of credit; and be appropriate to
the student's program. An official transcript from each college
attended must be submitted, along with the other required admission
documents required. Please schedule an appointment with one of our
counselors on campus for a preliminary evaluation of your transcripts.
