- Applicants with 24 or more completed semester hours of transferable college credit must meet or exceed Transfer admissions criteria and are not required to submit high school transcripts, ACT/SAT official scores or to meet Freshman admissions criteria.
- Transfer applicants with fewer than 24 completed semester hours of transferable college credit at the time of application, must meet or exceed Freshman admissions criteria in addition to meeting all Transfer admissions criteria, and must also submit
- Official high school transcripts

*If you cannot attend the initial semester for which you applied, we will hold your official transcripts and other documents for one year from the date of receipt of these documents.
Applicants who wish to change their initial semester of application to another NIU semester within the same calendar year must submit a new application but do not need to submit another application fee. If you wish to attend NIU for a semester in a future new calendar year, then you will need to submit a new application and a new fee payment for that application.
