Dear Student Applicant:

Thank you for applying to Northwestern Christian University.

If accepted for enrollment, you will engage in a very effective and efficient educational program that will provide your educational credentials as a Christian professional. At Northwestern, we seek to eliminate redundancy in education which allows you to focus on specific subjects relative to your degree field. We want you to be enabled to remember what you study for future application in ministry and career. We do this through a process called the "analytical process of applied education," developed by our founder, Dr. Howard M. Sarkela.

The following is some important information regarding your application and enrollment process with Northwestern Christian University. We truly recommend that you print this page for reference.

*********************

WHAT HAPPENS NOW
After reviewing your application our registrar will contact you by E-mail to inform you if you have been accepted for enrollment. If accepted for enrollment, the email will contain your Enrollment Package and instructions to confirm receipt of the package. Applicants who immediately confirm after receiving their acceptance e-mail, are allowed express enrollment. Please be considerate as fellow Christians, acknowledging that our NCU staff is working long hours and processing many applications. Whenever you receive a communication from the registrar or admissions office, please reply immediately and please do not ignore our communications.

If you are currently enrolled in another school, nothing prevents you from earning two degrees simultaneously from separate colleges or seminaries. For example: You can begin a doctorate degree study at NCU now, even though you are currently completing a Master degree program elsewhere, or you can enroll now in a Master degree program at NCU while still completing your Bachelor degree elsewhere. However, your qualifying degree and transcripts must be provided prior to graduation at NCU. This is a common practice and allowed by most colleges, universities and seminaries. Even High school students are allowed to enroll and take college or university courses before graduating from high school.

Once enrolled, your faculty advisor will immediately provide your educational plan, and work with you as a guide leading to the attainment of your degrees. You will be required to provide a copy of any prior diploma or degree award along with appropriate transcripts, prior to graduation and receiving your degree from NCU University.

At enrollment, you will be setup on the NTSMoodle Course Management System. After completing your Orientation on the system, your assigned advisor will contact you with your program. If you will be transferring credits from previous education, your faculty advisor will require a list of educational courses which you have taken and a description of any appropriate ministry and life experience information relating to your degree field, in order to get you started while we wait on your transcripts and documentation. Therefore, based on your own written description of the courses that you may have already taken, you will be able to begin your degree program before we receive your actual transcripts and documentation. However, while not an urgent requirement, such documentation must be provided prior to graduation and award of your degree.

Due to the high demand for our programs and because our staff reviews the files of every student that is accepted for admittance, please be patient as it is currently taking from 1 to 3 business days to respond to accepted University applicants. Also, keep in mind that Administrative offices are closed on weekends and holidays.

COMPLETING YOUR ENROLLMENT
If approved, you will receive your University Acceptance Document by e-mail. One you receive your dated  acceptance document, your Initial Tuition/ Love Offer payment is due and payable within 14 days.  Failure to pay your initial portion of the Tuition/ Love Offer amount within 14 days, may disqualify you from approved status for enrollment. Therefore, if this is a problem, be sure to communicate with the Registrar's Office for payment arrangements. As a Christian educational ministry, your education is very important to us and we will certainly consider extenuating circumstances regarding reasonable enrollment delays.

Upon notification of acceptance, you may then proceed to submit your initial payment by opening the university's 'Donations' page located at the university website. DO NOT submit your initial payment until you have been notified of your acceptance to NCU. The direct link to the 'Donations' page is: http://www.NorthwesternChristianUniversity.com/NCUDonations.htm

It is very important that  you reply to the NCU Registrar's e-mailed acceptance package promptly and do your best to complete your enrollment within the 14-day enrollment period, or as soon as possible. As a Christ centered educational ministry we will cooperate with any request for an extension of the enrollment period due to extenuating circumstances, your education is our priority. However, all Plan B students should make the initial payment of $199 to complete enrollment as soon as possible.

WHY DOES NTS PROVIDE A 14-DAY ENROLLMENT PERIOD?
Concerning Plan B and Plan C Enrollments:
The purpose of the 14-day period is to provide sufficient time for those with limited income to raise the initial $199 enrollment fee needed to begin your orientation and be assigned your Faculty Advisor for beginning your degree program through Plan B.
NOTE: Students who enroll with Plan A. 50/50, are not required to make monthly payments.

It is wise to act promptly.  So, please do not procrastinate, this is an important and rare educational opportunity leading to your educational and spiritual growth and development.

Your Tuition/ Love Offer is a form of donation in lieu of regular tuition. However, it is not considered as a charitable donation for tax purposes.    

******************

NO BOOKS TO BUY:
NCU Students do not need to buy books for their courses. You will be given access to the NTSMoodle Course Management System. Each course within the system provides a textbook in e-book (pdf) format so that you may begin your course immediately after registration into the system.

******************

ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED AND WE MUST PROCESS ALL ENROLLMENTS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. THEREFORE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU CONFIRM RECEIPT OF YOUR ENROLLMENT PACKAGE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ON YOUR YOUR ACCEPTANCE E-MAIL FROM NCU UNIVERSITY.

Help NCU Keep Student Costs To A Minimum:

* 97% of students choose the convenience of automatic credit card or checking account debit payments. About 3% of students (usually overseas enrollments) choose to make manual monthly payments by check, credit card, money order etc. NCU must charge a small administrative processing fee to offset the cost of paying staff to do manual processing of payments each month. Almost all Colleges and Universities require automatic debit only.

******************

Again thank you for choosing Northwestern Christian University. We look forward to doing our best in assisting you to fulfill your Christ centered educational needs. May the Lord bless you and use you in a great way for the advancement of His kingdom.
