Admissions at Nexford

You must submit a copy of a government-issued ID that clearly shows your photo, full name, and date of birth. If your ID includes an expiration date, it must be valid at the time of submission and clearly visible in the uploaded document.

You can submit any of the following:

• Passport
• Driver’s license
• Voter’s card
• National ID card

If you do not have another valid government ID, you may submit your birth certificate with a photo attached. Please make sure the photo does not cover or obscure any important information on the document.

You may still be admitted even if your bachelor’s degree is in a different field from the required academic background for your chosen program.

In some cases, you may be required to complete foundation course(s) to help you build the knowledge needed before moving on to your core program courses.

These courses are designed to strengthen your foundation and support your success in the program. You must earn a grade of C or higher in the required foundation course(s) before progressing to the core degree program.

If your academic background does not meet the required field of study, you may request a foundation course waiver based on your professional experience, certifications, or prior learning.

To be considered, you will need to demonstrate that your experience aligns with the learning outcomes of the course. Supporting documentation may include:

• At least three (3) years of relevant professional experience, supported by a résumé, or
• An industry-recognized certification, professional training, or related coursework.

Waiver requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and require university approval. Please note that approval of a waiver does not waive other admission requirements.
