Transfer Admissions

We are excited you are considering transferring to Norwich University!

Transfer students are an important part of the Norwich University campus community, and we look forward to serving your academic and transfer-related needs.

Will my credits transfer?

Use Norwich’s list in the Transfer Evaluation System (TES) to see which of your courses were previously approved for credit at Norwich.  

  1. Select your prior college or university and the courses you took. 
  2. If we have already evaluated that course, you will see the equivalent at Norwich.
  3. If you don’t see your previous university or course(s) listed, create an account on Transferology to get a personalized transfer credit report. 

Questions? Contact your admissions counselor, email admissions@norwich.edu, or contact the Transfer Credit Unit of the Registrar's Office at transfercredit@norwich.edu. 

Request Your Transcripts

Order your official transcripts and/or AP score reports early to ensure that transfer credits are applied to your Norwich record before registration begins. Failure to do so may cause you to be registered for courses you don't need.

*NOTE: Transfer Equivalencies are subject to change.

College Board

Have your Official AP/CLEP Scores sent by College Board to Norwich (CEEB code 3669).
