Transfer Credit
Transfer credit for first-year writing courses is assessed and credited by the Admissions Office. Please note that transfer credit for writing courses does not necessarily exempt transfer students from required writing courses at Northeastern University. The Writing Diagnostic Examination determines placement into writing courses, rather than the actual transfer credit. See your advisor for help.
All students must take an AWD course in order to graduate. No transfer credit is accepted for AWD courses.
In addition
Q: Whom do I see if I want to transfer a writing course?
A: If you are requesting transfer credit for a writing course, you should speak to Ms. Linda Collins, Administrative Specialist, in 406 Holmes Hall. Ms. Collins processes transfer requests for ENGL 1101, ENGL 1102, ENGL 1110, and ENGL 1111. Ms. Collins can be reached by phone at 617-373-2513 or by email at li.collins@neu.edu. Bring a copy of your grade and a course description or syllabus with you when you arrive for your assessment.
The English Department advises that students currently enrolled at Northeastern check with Ms. Linda Collins(li.collins@neu.edu) or Professor Kathleen Kelly (k.kelly@neu.edu) before they register for a first-year writing course elsewhere that they then intend to transfer to Northeastern. Not all courses will transfer or are considered equivalent.
It is best to check with departmental advisors before taking any course outside of Northeastern's day program.
