APPLYING ELSEWHERE?
If you're applying to schools other than NKU, we hope you'll keep us in consideration. We recommend applying to NKU by mid February to see what scholarships you may be eligible for. In the meantime, you'll need to request your NKU transcript be sent to any other schools you are applying to after you have completed your dual-credit courses.
