should send their applications through the Embassies of their countries in Islamabad, and these must be
routed through

Migration / Transfer of
Students
The admission committee will review and process all transfer and migration requests as needed. Students
from other educational
institutions who wish to transfer or migrate to Northern University must meet the following
requirements:
The applicant must meet Northern University's admission criteria
A certificate of good conduct and behaviour from the previous institution must be provided.
The applicant must submit a detailed marks certificate,
along with the courses studied at the previous institution, and syllabi for equivalence assessment.
Course transfers are subject to the approval of the admission committee and the achievement of a
minimum acceptable GPA.
The student must meet the minimum residency requirement for the degree program they are transferring
into, typically 50% of the total program duration. However, the academic council may reduce this
requirement to 25% on a case-by-case basis.
The admission committee may allow the transfer of up to 50% of the credit requirements for the degree.
However, the academic council may increase this limit to 75%, depending on the circumstances.
Generally, only courses that have not been used for another degree will be considered for transfer.
The grades of transferred courses will not count toward the CGPA at Northern University, but they will
appear on the transcript with a "T" next to them to indicate they are transfer credits.
Only grades earned from courses taken at Northern University will be used to calculate the CGPA. This
CGPA will also determine class rankings and eligibility for medals.
