Submit the following to CASAA: 1. official transcripts sent directly from all previously attended undergraduate, professional, and graduate institutions Coursework taken at a foreign institution must be evaluated for U.S. institution-equivalence by an approved National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) organization. It is the applicant’s responsibility to have this coursework evaluated.

Applicants must complete the NSU supplemental application and submit it with a $50, nonrefundable application fee. The Committee on Admissions will not consider an application until all required fees, credentials, transcripts, and evaluations have been received by the EPS. Personal Interviews Once your application is complete, the Committee on Admissions will decide whether or not your application is strong enough to warrant an invitation for a personal interview. Interviews are conducted at the campus the applicant applied to and are by invitation only. An invitation to interview is not a guarantee of admission. Notice of acceptance or action by the Committee on Admissions will be on a rolling or periodic schedule; therefore, early completion of the application is in the best interest of the student. Interviews will be held • from August through December at the Denver Campus • from November through March at the Fort Lauderdale/ Davie Campus
