Academic advising

Our admissions team will review your transcripts, let you know how much credit will likely transfer to North Park, provide tuition rates, and give you an estimate of the amount of time it will take to complete your degree.

An admission decision is usually made within one week. If you are accepted to the School of Professional Studies, you will receive an advising letter from our staff, along with your official transcript evaluation. Your advising letter will detail coursework transferred to North Park, as well as coursework required to complete your bachelor’s degree. When you enroll, you must submit official transcripts (if you have not already) prior to the end of your first semester.
