Second Bachelor’s Degree Individuals who already hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, including NSU, may earn a second bachelor’s degree from NSU by completing a minimum of 30 additional credits toward the second degree. At least 50 percent of the major must be taken at NSU. Suspensions Applicants who are currently under suspension or who have been suspended or dismissed from another postsecondary institution are not eligible for admission to Nova Southeastern University. Applicants may appeal this policy and request a waiver by the admissions committee. That waiver may be granted only after a review of additional information. Students who are currently under suspension or who have been suspended or dismissed from NSU should refer to the Academic Requirements and Progress section in Academic Resources and Procedures for policy information. Concurrent Enrollment Students enrolled at NSU are not generally permitted to be enrolled at other institutions at the same time. Only under unusual circumstances will permission for concurrent enrollment be granted. See the Enrollment at Other Universities section in Academic Resources and Procedures for policies and requirements. Delayed Enrollment and Reapplication for Admission Students who apply for admission but do not complete the admissions process, or are admitted but never attended NSU, may reactivate their applications within a period of 12 months after the intended semester of enrollment. For example, a student admitted for fall semester must enroll no later than the following fall semester. After the 12 month deadline, students must reapply for admission and a new application fee will be assessed. Students who wish to apply for readmission must clear all financial and academic holds from their record before a readmission application is processed.
