Arrange for official copies of your high school and all college transcripts to be sent to Northwestern College. Once all transcripts are received, our registrar will complete a transcript credit evaluation for you.
- Presumably you’ve taken the ACT or SAT; if so, your scores will appear on your high school transcript. If you’ve not taken one of those tests, do so and indicate you want your scores sent to us. (Northwestern’s ACT code: 013460; Northwestern’s SAT code: 6490).
Next steps …
Once you’ve applied and are accepted, you can begin thinking about how to pay for college. An important first step is completing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). FAFSA’s are filed after January 1. Visit our financial aid website for step-by-step instructions, timelines and other information that will help make college affordable for you.
