Northwest has dedicated transfer advisors to guide you through the process and answer your questions. Transfer advisors are available to you through any point- the earlier the better! Chat with a transfer advisor to learn about classes you should take before and after you transfer. Email transfer@nwmissouri.edu to ask questions, or schedule a call or Zoom session!
Transferring credit to Northwest is easy! Northwest accepts an unlimited number of credit hours and will accept all transfer credit if:
Transfer students are required to complete at least 30 hours at Northwest, along with all major and minor requirements. Your advisor will be there to guide you along the way!
This tool allows you to look up classes that have been equated to Northwest classes in the past and/or find various transfer guides between other institutions and Northwest.
*The transfer equivalency system allows you to view classes that have been equated in the past. It does not constitute an agreement or contract. Official credit evaluation is determined by submission of final transcripts
Your course will transfer over to Northwest for the amount of credit hours it is worth at your previous institution. Ex. I took College Algebra at my current institution for 5 credit hours and the equivalent Northwest course is only 3 credit hours. The course will transfer for 5 credit hours.
There is no limit on how many credits can transfer to Northwest.

Technical credit can only be transferred into the Bachelor of Applied Science degree.
If you cannot find your home institution or courses you have taken it does not mean they will not transfer to Northwest. We are still building this Transfer Equivalency System and they probably have not been added and/or reviewed for equivalency yet. If you cannot fund your institution or courses, please contact Transfer Services and we will look further into it for you.
An official transcript is an authenticated record of your academic history. Contact your previous college(s) to request that they send one directly to us.
Please note that the Transfer Equivalency System is regularly updated and revised. The information provided is based on previously transferred courses, serving as a helpful guide but not an exhaustive list. For an accurate assessment, an official transcript evaluation is required upon admissions to determine transferable credit.
