Students must meet ²ÝÁñÉçÇø and NIU criteria for satisfactory academic progress in order to remain in the Joint Program, including a minimum 2.75/4.0 GPA in their ²ÝÁñÉçÇø courses. Transfer credit earned from other institutions prior to enrollment at ²ÝÁñÉçÇø must meet NIU transfer credit requirements. For students enrolled in the Joint Program, NIU will accept transfer credit completed with a grade of "C" or better which has been accepted by ²ÝÁñÉçÇø, provided the student has obtained prior ²ÝÁñÉçÇø and NIU approval by filing a student petition in accordance with existing ²ÝÁñÉçÇø and NIU regulations. NIU courses will be offered in DeKalb or at the Naperville Campus. Students must satisfy all published requirements of the institution granting the degree.
