International Transcripts
What Transcripts are required?
Any transcript which is submitted from a school located outside of the US must be supplemented by an official evaluation of the transcript for US degree equivalency and GPA, performed by an institution approved by NACES. Course-by-course evaluations are not required unless the program you are applying to has prerequisite courses, or transfer credit is requested; for more information, please consult the enrollment counselor.
For a quicker turnaround at a discounted rate, students may choose TEC (The Evaluation Company) which offers a dedicated Northwest University landing page.
Transcript evaluation is not required for students transferring from a US institution.
