Transfer Students

Transfer students must follow the application procedure for new students, must meet the current entrance requirements for admission to National University of Health Sciences, and must be approved by the Committee on Admissions.

National University will award advanced standing credits for institutions fully accredited by specialty professional health care accrediting commissions such as the Accreditation Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education, the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education, or award credits from another accredited professional college, in those instances where the credits are germane and equivalent to the credits of the curriculum of National University. Because there is not total universality between various chiropractic, naturopathic and professional colleges with regard to curricula, transfer students should expect to lose some credit given at institutions attended previously.

Courses considered for advanced standing must be equivalent in content and quality to those of National University and must be satisfactorily completed with grades of C or higher (2.0 on a 4.0 scale). Additional regulations apply to transfer students; these regulations can be found in the NUHS Bulletin.
