1. Follow the same application procedures as a new student;
2. Submit an official transcript from the chiropractic institutions(s) previously attended;

Submit two letters of recommendation from faculty members of the chiropractic institution previously attended, as well as a letter from that institution’s registrar indicating the student applicant is leaving that college in good standing and could continue studies at their present chiropractic institution;
4. The applicant’s academic record must further allow for the student to be admitted without probation or other restriction, as defined by Northwestern policies;
5. Transfer credit may be granted for courses completed with a grade of “C” or better from another chiropractic institution. Those courses must have content similar to corresponding Northwestern courses of the same name and level. The Northwestern registrar will determine that comparability;
