Application Process

For First-Year Freshmen

1. Complete the application for admission:
   • Domestic students can access the Northwest application by creating an account. There is no application fee for on-campus programs.
   • International students can also apply online, but there is a fee to submit. Applicants can view international admission requirements.
     
     * There is no deadline for admission applications for on-campus programs as we have a rolling admissions process. Students pursuing an online program can view important dates.
2. Have your high school send an official copy of your six or seven-semester transcript with class rank and GPA at the time of application and a final eight-semester transcript showing the date of your high school graduation.
3. Northwest offers test-optional admission for eligible groups. However, submitting test scores can maximize your scholarship potential. If you choose to complete the ACT or SAT, have your test scores sent to Northwest by entering the ACT college code number for Northwest (2338) on the test registration form. If you are completing the SAT, Northwest's code is 6488.

Important Reminders

1. Official ACT/SAT scores must come directly from ACT/College Board. Scores reported on your high school transcript will be used for admission decisions, but acceptance to the University will not be complete until official scores of the date you received the highest composite score are received from ACT/College Board.
2. If you have earned any college credit or dual credit while attending high school, you must request each college or university from which credit has been earned to send an official transcript to the Office of Admissions, apply@quanticabtl.com.
3. Student copies of transcripts or personal copies of test results do not constitute official records or copies.
