Transfer of Credits
​
To graduate from Northpoint College with any of the above programs the student must complete the last 30 hours of study in residence at Northpoint College.
​
The student should request an official transcript from all colleges he/she attended. The official transcript from a CHEA accredited college or university should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar at the time of application. Only courses in which a grade of C or better was earned will be considered. Once the transcript is evaluated the student and the Financial Aid office will be notified as to the number of credits being transferred into Northpoint. Only credits that go toward a student’s program will be transferred. Students must complete their last thirty (30) hours of credits through Northpoint in order to graduate with a degree. No transfer credits will be considered for courses taken at another institution once the student has matriculated into Northpoint. Exceptions to this will be made for students transferring credits from Northpoint Bible College, Haverhill, MA.
