Reregistration for the following semester occurs midway through each semester. During preregistration, the student determines his schedule with the help of his advisor and submits it to the Registrar’s Office. No schedule change should be considered final until it has been approved by the Registrar’s Office. Registration for incoming freshmen and transfer students occurs at the beginning of each semester. Students must attend registration or preregistration on the designated day. A student may drop or add a class from his class schedule without academic penalty up to one week from the date the class begins. The drop/add period for block courses is assessed on an equivalency basis. Any class added during the drop/add period is assessed personal class cuts for the class periods missed. Although sound academic counseling is given through the advising system at Northland, the responsibility for proper registration for each semester rests with the student. The student is responsible for planning his program in order to satisfy all graduation requirements.
Student Records
Northland International University conforms to the requirements of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Consequently, student records are not made available, nor is information from them furnished to third parties without the student’s written consent, except as follows:
- A student’s name and whether he is currently enrolled in the college is considered public information.
- Academic major, dates of enrollment, degrees received, honors received, local address and telephone number, names of parents, permanent home address, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and height and weight of members of athletic teams are considered to be of public interest and are released to appropriate agencies unless the student officially files a request with the Registrar that disclosure is not to be made without the student’s written consent.
- Information concerning students is released within the college to administrators, faculty, and staff when such information is necessary for the effective accomplishment of educational functions.
Transcript Services
All requests for academic transcripts must be made in writing to the Registrar’s Office. A Transcript Request Form is available on the university’s website or by request from the Registrar’s Office. An official transcript must be mailed directly from Northland to the designated institution or organization; an unofficial transcript may be sent directly to the student. Transcripts are not released to current or former students who have not met all financial obligations to the college.
Northland provides one complimentary transcript per student. Additional copies cost $5.00 per copy; this payment must accompany each transcript request. Transcripts are sent by regular US mail; any type of special handling that requires additional charges must be paid in advance. Requests for transcripts should be mailed or faxed to:

Transfer Credit
Most credits earned at recognized four-year colleges and universities transfer to Northland International University. Only course work with a grade of C or higher is considered. Courses of a vocational or technical nature are typically not transferable. Courses from two-year colleges and Bible institutes are subject to review by the registrar. Certain courses may transfer as general elective credits and may not substitute for specific requirements for a given program of study. Students may be required to supply specific course information to the registrar in order to receive transfer credit.
