First Time Freshman

High School Student

If you are a high school student, you should apply during the fall of your senior year or as soon as possible thereafter. Request a hard copy of your transcripts from your guidance counselor or request an E-transcript from docufide.com. Send transcripts to Purdue North Central.

Print out the high school guidance form and have your guidance counselor fill it out and send in to help complete your application for admission.

Home-School Student

Successful applicants from home-schooling follow curriculum requirements of the Indiana Core 40 or Academic Honors Diploma. Our admissions requirements for home-schooled students are the same requirements used for students attending a public or private high school. The SAT or ACT is required.

Non-Traditional Student

If you already have graduated from high school, you should apply as soon as possible. Your official high school transcripts are required in order to complete the admissions procedure. Contact your last high school and they will send it to the Admissions Office.

Transfer Students

The following documents are needed for all transfer students:

• Official transcripts from any college or university you have attended
• Official high school transcripts (**unless you have already received an Associates's Degree from another institution)
• $30 for the credit evaluation fee.

Purdue North Central (PNC) has built strong relationships with colleges throughout the state to facilitate the transfer of coursework. Once you are admitted, your previous college work is evaluated for PNC credit based on the transcripts you have sent. It is imperative that you send transcripts reflecting all of your college course work. When the evaluation is complete, you and your advisor will receive a list of your coursework that will transfer from your previous institution(s) to PNC. Course grades are not transferred to your PNC record, and will not be included in the computation of your grade-point average at PNC.*

*Note: The Nursing Department considers all transfer credits and GPA for admission into the Nursing Program.

Additional Resources

Transfer Equivalency Self-Service is a web-based tool that allows you to see how academic credits you have earned at other institutions can be used towards a degree at Purdue University North Central.  Tell us what classes you took and where, and we will tell you how the course work will apply towards a specific program of study (degree) you wish to pursue at Purdue University North Central as part of our Degree Works on-line degree audit system.

Re-entry Student

Purdue North Central is part of the Purdue University system. If you have been a student at any Purdue campus, or if you have attended PNC previously, your information is already on file. Our Office will need official transcripts from any college or university you have attended since your last Purdue enrollment.

Readmission of Students Who Have Been Academically Dropped

A person who has been dropped from any Purdue University campus for academic reasons and wishes to reenter must make application for readmission to the Scholastic Delinquencies and Readmissions Committee. There is a $100 Readmission Fee that must be submitted with the application. Forms for initiating this procedure are available in the Registrar's Office at the PNC campus.

Deadlines for submitting this application are:
Fall Semester: July 15
Spring Semester: November 15
Summer Session: April 15

After these dates, readmission applications will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
