Common Advising Questions

Can I take all online/weekend/night classes?

You may be able to take several online/weekend/night classes in a semester, and our non-traditional class offerings are increasing.  However, most majors cannot be completed entirely online or through weekend or evening-only classes. These non-traditional course offerings were created for the purpose of supplementing the traditional course schedule and allowing greater flexibility for students who are unable to attend during regular class times.

Adult students who have an earned Associate's Degree may be eligible to complete a degree online in Criminal Justice, or Health Care Administration through NSU's College of Extended Learning

How long do I have to enroll?

Enrollment deadlines for each semester can be found on the calendar; however, course selection becomes progressively limited the longer a student waits. If you have specific schedule requirements, enroll as early as you can.

Will my previous college coursework transfer to NSU?
