Degree-Applicable Credits Policy

First-time-in-college students who have earned college credits while in high school may elect not to transfer their college credits into NSU. In some cases, this would enable a student to retake a specific course at NSU without financial aid limitations. If this applies to you, notify your academic advisor and complete the necessary request before the end of the drop/add period of your first semester at NSU. Please discuss with your academic advisor in advance if you have any questions.
