Application Procedure
The first step is to submit a fully-completed application
for admission. You may obtain an application from the Office
of Admissions. The application for admission must include:
- A properly completed application for admission.
Please type or print neatly;
- An application processing fee of $50 (U.S. dollars).
This fee is non-refundable and must be submitted with
the application for admission;
- Official transcripts from all colleges attended sent
directly to Northwestern from those colleges. High school
transcripts or a General Educational Development diploma
(GED) are required only if the student has less than one
year (36 semester credits) or do not have prior college
work;
(Note: Please indicate on your application if your transcripts
will be arriving under another name.)
- Two completed character reference
forms. References should be people who have known you for
a period of at least six months. References from professors
and natural health care professionals are preferred. Relatives
are not accepted as references. Northwestern will send
character reference forms to those references listed on
the application, who should complete the form and return
it to the University;
- A completed criminal background check.
Northwestern will provide a consent form that must be
completed and returned to the Office of Admissions;
- A
completed essay (see Application Form for instructions).
Selection of Candidates
The Admissions Committee, in general, seeks to matriculate
students who best suit the philosophies and goals of the University.
Northwestern attempts to select students who have strong academic
records and who demonstrate the motivational and personal
characteristics suitable for a career in massage therapy.
Service and a caring attitude are important characteristics
of a future massage therapist. The University employs a rolling
admissions process; therefore, early application could increase
the applicant’s probability for acceptance. The University
encourages campus visits for all applicants and reserves the
right to require an interview.
Tuition Deposit Policy
Applicants will be notified in writing of the Admission
Committee’s decision regarding their application following
receipt of all application materials and committee review.
Upon notification of acceptance, a candidate must remit a
tuition deposit of $100 (U.S. dollars) to reserve a position
in the entering class. This tuition deposit is non-refundable
but is applied toward the first trimester tuition. First
trimester students who have been accepted and paid their
$100 (U.S. dollars) tuition deposit must pay the balance
of their first trimester tuition on the first day of class.
If the student has a loan in progress for the first trimester
at Northwestern, then the first trimester tuition will be
credited against this loan. It is important to note that
because of the limited space available in each class, scheduling
priorities, and the cost of education, the institutional
refund policy does not apply to the $100 tuition deposit.
