Federal law requires that NHTI collect names and corresponding social security numbers for all students attending the college. The college is required by the internal Revenue Code to produce a 1098-T tax form (26 U.S.C.A. Section 6050 or Federal Register, Vol. 67, No. 2244, page 777686 (ii)) which requires the college to report the names and social security numbers of all students taking credit-bearing courses. Please note, however, that the college will ensure the security of the student’s social security number and will not disclose it to anyone outside the college, except as authorized by federal or state laws or applicable policies.

  2. Applicants whose native language is not English* must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and earn a score of 500 or higher on the paper-based test; or 173 or higher on the computer-based test; or 61 or higher on the internet-based test. Inquiries regarding the test should be addressed to: TOEFL, Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA; students earning a TOEFL score lower than those listed above may be evaluated for language study;
  3. Letter of support from the person(s) who will be financially responsible for the student; letter should include student's name, intent to attend NHTI, Concord's Community College and the amount of money available, must be in English and funds must be stated in US dollars;

Health care in the United States is expensive; international students are strongly encouraged to maintain adequate health insurance coverage during their studies. If necessary, health insurance policies are available for purchase through NHTI Health Services.

Dollar amounts promised by the sponsor and available in the sponsor's bank account should be sufficient to cover a minimum of one year of expenses (out-of-state tuition, fees, room, board, books and miscellaneous expenses). Before a Certificate of Eligibility for an F-1 visa (I-20) can be issued, applicants must have submitted all documents required to be considered for admission into a program, be accepted into a program and have submitted the required TOEFL score and financial documents.
* Applicants who reside in the US and have had English as their language of instruction for both their primary and secondary schooling may be permitted to take an institutional assessment to determine language abilities.

These courses are designed to help students develop English language skills as well as self-confidence in dealing with challenges in learning, communication, and cultural adjustment in various academic programs at NHTI or other colleges. Students scoring below a 380 on the TOEFL will not be admitted to the college or a program at NHTI.

If You Are Applying For Academic Amnesty:
A student who has previously attended NHTI and is readmitted at a later time may be eligible for Academic Amnesty which provides for the following:
  • All grades taken during the student's previous time at the Institute will no longer be used to calculate the student's new cumulative GPA. However, grades C- and above taken during the student's previous time at the Institute will be used to meet course requirements (where appropriate).
  • Even though previous grades will not be used to calculate the new cumulative GPA, all previous grades will remain on the student's transcript.
In order to be eligible for Academic Amnesty a student must meet all of the following conditions:
  1. The student has not taken any courses at NHTI for a period of at least 3 years from the last semester of attendance.
  2. The student applies for Academic Amnesty at the time of admission.
  3. The student has never before received Academic Amnesty.

Please note that Academic Amnesty is designed for students who exhibited poor academic performance during previous attendance. It is not designed for students who achieved a cumulative GPA above 1.7 during previous attendance. Students who are granted academic amnesty should be aware that while previous grades are not used to calculate the new grade point average, they will be used to evaluate “satisfactory academic progress” for financial aid purposes in accordance with Federal Financial Aid Regulations.

For these courses to be considered for transfer credit, have official transcript(s) sent to the NHTI Admissions Office.
Choose only one program.

Transferring to NHTI

Students requesting transfer to NHTI should submit all documents listed for general admission and must meet the specific admission requirements for their desired program. In addition, official transcripts from postsecondary institutions attended are needed to evaluate transfer credit. Awarding of transfer credits is based on the following:

  1. only those courses required in the desired program will be considered;
  2. courses must be equivalent in content and credit hours to those required in the desired program;
  3. grades must be “C” or higher, based on NHTI standards;
  4. science and other technical courses, including but not limited to Anatomy and Physiology I & II, Microbiology and some computer courses, taken more than five years prior to the desired date of entry must be repeated or challenged; final decisions rest with the Department Head;
  5. most other general education courses do not have time limits but final decisions rest with the department head;
  6. CLEP and Advanced Placement exams will be considered for transfer credit only if score reports from the College Entrance Examination Board are submitted;
  7. Challenge Exams, Credit by Exam and Pass/Fail courses taken at other institutions will not be considered for transfer credit;
  8. course descriptions, syllabi and course outlines may be requested;
  9. the Director of Admission, in consultation with the Vice President of Academic Affairs and academic department head, if necessary, is responsible for determining the appropriateness and acceptance of transfer credits.

Transfer credits may be used to satisfy specific degree course requirements. Grades associated with such credits will not be included in the determination of the student’s Grade Point Average, which reflects only achievement in courses completed at NHTI.

In the event that a student fails a course at NHTI, subsequently satisfactorily completes a comparable course at another institution and requests transfer, those credits may be used to satisfy NHTI program requirements at the discretion of the program Department Head. However, the grade received at NHTI will remain a part of the transcript, and it will be utilized in determining the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA). Only successfully repeating the failed course at NHTI will discount the failing grade from the GPA calculation. (See Repeated Course policy (http://www.nhti.edu/academics/repeated.html) and also see Program Residency Requirements: (http://www.nhti.edu/academics/residency.html), and Transferring to Other Institutions (http://www.nhti.edu/academics/transfer-options.html
