3. Submit your official transcripts

Upload copies of your official transcripts from all secondary (high school) and post-secondary (college/university) education to your application for the admission evaluation (including vocational and ESL transcripts).  You can also email them to studynau@nau.edu.  Transcripts not issued in English by the institution must be accompanied by a certified English translation. Failure to provide complete information may delay your admission decision.

First-year students and transfer students without an associate degree:

  • We require a minimum 2.5 grade-point average (GPA) on a 4-point scale for first-year and transfer students without an associate degree.

Transfer students:

  • Students with an associate degree from an accredited US college/university may be admitted with a 2.0 GPA (4-point scale).
  • Transfer students with an associate degree from an accredited US college/university only need to submit that transcript.  A high school transcript is not required.
  • Transfer students (without an associate degree from a US institution) need to submit their high school transcripts/diploma in addition to the college transcripts.

NAU accepts transcript evaluations from National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) approved organizations.  However, the result of a transcript evaluation does not guarantee that transfer credits will be awarded.  All transcripts from post-secondary institutions in Nigeria must be evaluated by a NACES-approved service.

Official transcripts and evaluations must be sent directly from the institution electronically to studynau@nau.edu (from a verifiable school email address) or by mail to the address below:

Northern Arizona University
Center for International Education
Attn: International Admissions
PO Box 5598
523 S Knoles Dr.

All transcripts become the official property of the university and cannot be returned.
