• Are there application deadlines for each term?
NSU operates on a rolling admission plan, which means we review applications as they become a complete file, including all necessary transcripts and test scores.
The Dual Admission Program has an application deadline of February 1st for the fall term start. All Dual Admission applicants must be accepted to the university prior to applying for the Dual Admission program of their choice. As such, we encourage all students interested in the Dual Admission Program to apply early in the start of their high school senior year to meet all necessary deadlines. Dual Admission applicants interested in beginning in the winter term have a deadline of November 1st.
