Students Whose Previous Academic Work Was Not in the United States

The following guidelines apply to students whose previous academic work was not in the United States:

  • U.S. citizens or resident aliens whose previous academic work was from an institution outside the U.S. are required to have their high school transcripts and/or undergraduate transcripts evaluated by one of NLU's approved foreign credential evaluation agencies
  • Graduate applicants with a baccalaureate degree or college coursework from an institution outside the U.S. are required to have their undergraduate transcripts evaluated by one of NLU's approved foreign credential evaluation agencies verifying degree equivalence to a U.S. regionally accredited baccalaureate degree
  • The NLU Office of Admissions and Records will examine foreign transcript evaluations and make a determination of suitability for undergraduate and graduate admission
