Adult Undergraduate and Graduate & Professional students will be virtually connected with their advisor after they are admitted. The Advisor will work with them remotely to help them register themselves for their first semester of classes at NDMU.

Traditional Undergraduate students attend a Gator Registration Day over the summer before their first term, and are introduced to an advisor at that event who helps them register for their first semester courses. When they arrive, Traditional students will have their NDMU-100 instructor serve as their advisor until they officially declare a major, when they will be assigned an advisor in that department.

In general, AP credit may be given to students who score 3 or higher. IB diplomas will grant the student 30 credits and sophomore status if they score 30 of better. Higher level IB exams with a score of 5 or higher will grant credits accordingly.

The University must receive official copies of all scores to be reviewed for credit. More info on this page of the catalog.

Fully online programs are offered in a variety of our graduate programs.
