Accommodations at NIU may be different than what are at customary at your previous school.
If you had accommodations at your previous institution, contact us. Submit your documentation once you have been accepted to NIU.
If you did not have accommodations at your previous institution you may need to update your documentation. See Guidelines for Documentation.
We recommend you complete your core competency courses before transferring to NIU. For more information regarding core competency courses and transferable credits, see Transfer Admissions.
If you are attending a community college, it can be advantageous to complete your associate's degree and transfer in as a junior. If you have less than 24 transferable credit hours you may be considered by admissions as a freshman applicant. That means you have to fulfill all freshman admissions criteria, including minimum ACT score, high school class standing, GPA, etc. See Freshman Admission Criteria.
