Policies

6) NCI awards credit to those students who present official College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement Test scores of 5, 4, or 3 on examinations that fit their academic program and 2 or better on the Calculus examinations.

You should also contact any educational institutions that you may want to transfer credits earned at North Central Institute to determine if such institutions will accept credits earned at North Central Institute prior to executing an enrollment contract or agreement. The ability to transfer credits from North Central Institute to another educational institution may be very limited. It is highly recommended and you are advised to make certain that you know the transfer of credit policy of North Central Institute and of any other educational institutions you may in the future want to transfer the credits earned at North Central Institute before you execute an enrollment contract or agreement.

Transfer Credit Hours / Change of Program: Transfer credits that are accepted toward your educational program count as both attempted and completed credits can affect your overall GPA and PACE time.

NCI supports all reasonable and proper transfers of credit; no accredited post-secondary school can guarantee transfer of credit to another institution. Students should be aware that transfer of credit is always the responsibility of the receiving institution.
