Admission

You will be offered admission to NAU as a transfer student if:

You鈥檝e completed the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC), AGEC-B, AGEC-S, or California Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) with a cumulative GPA of 2.5+ OR
You鈥檝e completed an associate degree with a cumulative GPA of 2.0+

You will be considered for admission if:

You have 12-23 transferable credits and a core high school GPA of 2.0 or above (we will evaluate your high school coursework)
You have 24 or more transferable credits with a cumulative college GPA of at least 2.00

Note that with a completed AGEC, IGETC, or CSUGE, you will have fulfilled all of the lower-level requirements but not the junior- or senior-level writing requirement of the NAU Liberal Studies program. Without a completed AGEC, IGETC or CSUGE, you are still eligible to apply appropriate credits toward your NAU degree.
