Application Procedure
The first step in the application process is to submit a
fully-completed application for admission. Applications are
available online at www.nwhealth.edu or from the Office of
Admissions. The application must include:
- An application processing fee of $50 (U.S. dollars).
This fee is non-refundable;
- Official transcripts from all colleges attended; (NOTE:
These transcripts must be sent directly to Northwestern
from those colleges.)
- Names and addresses of two references. Northwestern will
send character reference forms to those persons listed on
the application as references. Those persons should complete
the form and return it to the University. Relatives are
not accepted as references;
- A completed essay (see application form for instructions);
- A current resumé.
Selection of Candidates
The Admissions Committee in general seeks to admit 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 acupuncture and Oriental
medicine. Willingness to provide service and a caring attitude
are important characteristics of a successful practitioner.
The University employs a rolling admissions process. Therefore,
early application could increase the applicant's probability
for acceptance. Students are strongly encouraged to apply
nine to 12 months prior to the first day of their first academic
term. Students interested in seeking transfer credit should
apply as far in advance as possible, in order to assure that
any required additional information may be obtained or challenge
examinations completed prior to the first day of class. 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 Admissions
Committee's decision regarding their application following
receipt and review of all information and materials. Upon
notification of acceptance, a non-refundable tuition deposit
of $300 (U.S. dollars) is required to secure a place in the
program. The tuition deposit will be applied to the first
trimester tuition.
The tuition deposit should be submitted as soon as possible
after notification of acceptance since processing of financial
aid is initiated only after receipt of the deposit.
First trimester students who have been accepted and paid
their $300 (U.S. dollars) tuition deposit must pay the balance
of their first trimester tuition on the first day of class.
If the student has been awarded financial aid for the first
trimester at Northwestern, then those funds will be credited
against the student's Northwestern account. 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 $300 (U.S.
dollars) tuition deposit.
