National Louis University Transfer Articulation Agreements

Now is the time to start — or finish — your bachelor’s degree! NLU can help make transferring from colleges easy. Find your college in the list below to see which associate’s degrees are part of the articulation agreement.

If you have earned an associate degree from a college with which NLU has an articulation agreement, you may transfer academic credits seamlessly to NLU. Typically, this will allow you to enter as a junior and complete your bachelor's degree at NLU in two years or less.

National Louis requires a minimum grade of C to accept transfer credit. There are specific program-to-program agreements that may allow a grade of less than C to be accepted for students who completed an associate’s degree with a GPA of 2.0 or higher. This exception can only be granted if permissible by specific baccalaureate degree academic policies and stated in the articulation agreement. Please consult with an NLU enrollment specialist and your college advisor on details related to this exception.

For quick reference, please find your college on the list below, and check which programs have pre-arranged agreements to accept your credits. Next, review NLU Transfer Guides to see how courses completed for your associate's degree will transfer to the program of your choice at NLU per articulation agreement with your institution. 

If the program you desire is not listed, an NLU enrollment specialist can explain how your credits will easily transfer. Visit our Transfer Guides to see which courses are transferable and how they will be applied to NLU General Education. NLU has a generous transfer credit policy, and offers credit for work and life experience. You'll enjoy the convenience of online and blended options, flexible scheduling and five campuses located throughout the Chicago area.
