Admissions Requirements
General Recommendations & Requirements for Admissions
In addition to the online application, students who wish to apply to Northland College will be required to submit their high school grades and test scores for immediate review.
For those students with a cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 or above, test scores are optional. Because academic performance alone demonstrates admission eligibility but does not fully showcase an applicant’s true potential, Northland College bases admission decisions on academic performance as well as many other factors. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete a tour of the campus as well as provide strong answers in the short answer section of the application.
