| transfer_credit | Transfer Credit Information TRANSFER CREDIT EVALUATION PROCESS Registrar’s office staff will evaluate official transcripts and communicate the results to accepted students. The graduate program allows up to six credit hours of graduate work relative to the program to be transferred in as part of the student’s degree requirements. Students can transfer in a maximum of 15 credits towards this minor, with the exception that at least one Worldview Theology elective must be taken at the University. Credits will be transferred to NCU in the order that the official transcripts are received in the registrar’s office. Credits that do not meet Residency Requirements will not be transferred to NCU. Approval of transfer requests on the Transfer Credit Request Form does not guarantee acceptance of credits. | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Transfer To transfer credit means "to accept the qualified academic semester credits (Carnegie units) from another educational entity”; it also implies academic compatibility and equivalency of academic quality standards and competencies that are synonymous with at least "C-" (70%) at NCU. On the transcript, transfer credits appear as "TR" and do not affect GPA. Please note that once transfer credit has been awarded based on receipt of an official transcript, it will not be removed or waived by a request from the student. At no time will any processed transfer credits be deleted or removed from the student record. Transfer credits come from accredited academic sources such as: • Qualified Colleges or Universities • CLEP (College Level Examination Proficiency) exam* • AP (Advanced Placement) exam* • IBE (International Baccalaureate Exams)* • DSST/DANTES Exams* *Please note that a maximum of 30 Credits will be accepted for transfer from CLEP, AP,IB DANTES and Advanced Standing combined. TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY 1) Credit will be transferrable from institutions approved by one of the regional accrediting agencies recognized by the U.S. | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | 2) CHEA (Council on Higher Education) recognized accrediting agencies will be accepted for transfer. 3) Only courses with a grade of “C– “ or higher will be accepted for transfer for undergraduate programs. Transfer credit will not be awarded for courses graded on a pass/no pass (P/NP) or satisfactory (S) basis unless the transcript documents that the “P” or “S” grade is the equivalent of a “C– “ or higher. 4) Only courses with a grade of “B-“ or higher will be accepted for transfer for graduate programs. 5) Transferable credits are accepted to North Central University to the extent that they apply to a student’s declared program of study. Some programs, like Applied Studies, Education, and Social Work have program–specific limitations on transfer credits based on accreditation standards or licensure requirements. The relevancy of general education courses are determined by course content and will be accepted for transfer corresponding to the equivalency requirements for the General Education Courses document. • Transfer limitations for Applied Studies majors are set at a maximum of 30 credits of both General Education and upper-level general elective credits. This is limited to ensure that Residency Policy is met and all accreditation standards for bachelor’s degrees are adhered to. 6) Current students must complete a Transfer Credit Petition and submit the form to the registrar’s office for evaluation prior to registration for those classes at another institution. Approval from the dean or director is required for transfer requests to the major core. 8) The graduate program allows up to six credit hours of graduate work relative to the program to be transferred in as part of the student’s degree requirements. 9) Advanced Standing credits will be accepted for transfer so long as official documentation is submitted to the registrar’s office prior to degree conferral, but it is recommended that students send official scores as soon as possible to be reviewed for program applicability. A maximum of 30 combined credits will be accepted from the following sources: • CLEP (College Level Exam Proficiency) tests • AP (Advanced Placement) exams 46 | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | • IBE (International Baccalaureate Exams) • DSST/DANTES exams • Advanced Standing credit 10) Transfer credit accepted from another institution is reflected on the North Central transcript with a grade of “TR”. Advanced Standing awarded for prior learning will be noted on the transcript with a grade of “AS”. Advanced Standing is not justified on the basis of the academic merit of a course or program, but rather the education achieved by the active, supervised participation of the individual in an applied or real-world setting. In some cases, Advanced Standing may be justified for education received in an unaccredited setting, where transfer credit would not be justified. Credits pre-approved for Advanced Standing from unaccredited discipleship programs will be awarded upon the successful completion of one semester at NCU where the student is in good academic standing (GPA 2.0 or higher). 12) All determinations regarding Advanced Standing will be made by North Central University. It should be understood that Advanced Standing credits from other institutions will not be transferred to North Central University. 13) Continuing Education (CEU) credits and Straighterline exam scores are not accepted for transfer at NCU. 14) The Joint Services Transcript (JST), which documents coursework taken in the military, is accepted as evidence equivalent to an academic transcript. Military service records will not be accepted as evidence equivalent to academic transcripts from a college or university. The Deans’ Council will provide oversight for all transfer credit policies, and will review as needed to ensure compliance with all accreditation standards and requirements. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER CREDIT Because of the great variety of types of educational institutions that exist around the world, as well as how difficult it is to assess foreign equivalencies to American terminology and standards, North Central University requires academic credit earned from institutions located outside of the United States not only to be documented with transcripts or similar official reports, but also to be evaluated using an agency approved by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) or the National Association of Credit Evaluation Services (NACES). Transfer credit will be assessed based on equivalency to collegiate work completed at regionally accredited institutions in the United States. In addition, North Central University reserves the right to determine how such transfer credits 47 | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | Just as it is the responsibility of a student seeking transfer credit to provide NCU with relevant transcripts, it is also the responsibility of the student seeking foreign transfer credit to bear the cost of this evaluation. Caveats • The C- minimum grade requirement for transfer credit is not waived. • Licensure programs retain standard transfer credit evaluation, given external state licensure requirements that NCU cannot waive independently. • Applied Studies retains standard transfer credit evaluation, for the same reason. | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | If the student transferred into the Distressed School from another institution, official transcripts from all prior institutions are still required, and those credits are evaluated under standard transfer policy. Advanced Standing Advanced Standing implies that one is eligible to receive college credit for life experiences gained prior to matriculation as a new student through unaccredited educational programs, like YWAM, that "translate" into similar competencies gained through specific coursework at NCU or from approved exams like CLEP, AP, or IB. Please note that a maximum of 30 Credits will be accepted for transfer from CLEP, AP, IB, DANTES, and Advanced Standing combined. All official documentation for Advanced Standing credit must be submitted to the registrar’s office prior to degree conferral, but it is recommended that students send official scores as soon as possible to be reviewed for program applicability. Approval of a Transfer Credit Request does not guarantee acceptance if the official documentation or transcript is not received within this credit limit. | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
| transfer_credit | North Central University accepts many of these exams as transfer credits to meet the equivalent course requirements based on minimum required exam scores. FOREIGN LANGUAGE CREDIT North Central awards Advanced Standing credit for students who earn a World Language Proficiency Certificate or receive a Minnesota Bilingual and Multilingual Seal. • Students will be awarded 8 credits of Advanced Standing to be applied to either a foreign language requirement or general elective credit. | 2026-2027 | www.northcentral.edu | |
