Admissions Standings


Regular Student Status

A regular student is a student who meets all admissions requirements for matriculation into a degree program at the College. Regular standing is granted to approved applicants who have achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.3 in their high school and college course work (if a transfer student) and satisfactory test scores.


Probation Student Status

Probation status may be granted to a limited number of selectively admitted students who, in the judgment of the Admissions Committee, show promise of benefit from the opportunity to pursue work at Northwest University. A minimum incoming cumulative GPA of 2.00 is normally required for admission on probation.


Special Student Status

A special student is a student who enrolls for a limited course load (not more than nine hours) and who is not pursuing a degree at the University. The individual may take courses for audit or for credit after regularly enrolled students have registered.

A special student in the Certificate in Christian Studies program is allowed to enroll for a full load in the Christian Studies program. To qualify for the certificate, however, the individual must meet the same requirements as regular students.
