Admission

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

You have completed AGEC, AGEC-B, AGEC-S, or California IGETC with a cumulative GPA of 2.50; or you’ve completed an associate degree with a cumulative GPA of 2.00. Note that with a completed AGEC or IGETC you will have fulfilled all of the lower-level requirements, though not the junior- or senior-level writing requirement, of the NAU Liberal Studies program. Without a completed AGEC or IGETC, you are still eligible to apply appropriate credits toward your NAU degree.
