Application for Online degree programs

To apply for an online degree program, please download the application and submit it with a $25 application fee*. You’ll also need to have official transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions. An official High School transcript (or GED certificate) is required.  If you have taken any college courses, you’ll also need to have an official transcript from each college or university sent to the Office of Admissions.

Once all of your application material has been received, you’ll receive an admission decision within 2-3 weeks.  Feel free to contact the Admission Counselor for Online Learning at 800-827-6827 or uol@nwc.edu.

*The application fee is waived until December 1!
