Application Cycle Date

Interview

A personal interview is a part of the admission process; however, being interviewed is not a guarantee of admission. Not all applicants will be granted an interview. Those selected for an interview will be notified of the date and time of such interview by the Office of Admissions.

Notice of acceptance or action by the Committee on Admissions will be on a "rolling" or periodic schedule; therefore, early completion of the application is in the best interest of the student. Students may check on the status of their application online through the NSU online application system.

Transcripts

After acceptance, final transcripts, covering all of the applicant’s work, must be forwarded to the Office of Admissions prior to matriculation. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that arrangements are made for these transcripts to be sent.

Please send all materials to:

PO Box 299000

NSU-COM participates in the Virtual Evaluations system of obtaining letters.
