Admission Information


Applications for admission to Northland College are evaluated individually to assess each student’s level of preparedness for academic success and ability to become a contributing member of the Northland College learning community.

Admission Criteria

Applications for admission are evaluated on the basis of high school curriculum, cumulative high-school grade-point average, ACT or SAT test scores, and, when available, high-school class rank. Before acceptance decisions can be made by the Office of Admissions, applicants for admission must submit:

  1. a Northland College Application for Admission (Applying on-line is recommended, but a paper application may also be requested from the Office of Admission.);
  2. an official high school transcript;
  3. an official ACT or SAT test score report. (Results from either test are accepted and no preference is given to either test score. Test scores that are reported on official high school transcripts are considered official.)

Applicants for admission should have a minimum cumulative high-school grade-point average of 2.0 to be considered for admission. Students with college aptitude test scores and academic records below the median for high school seniors may be considered for admission if other factors indicate their potential for academic success in college. Letters of recommendation may be required for these students.
