We have “soft” application deadlines. Students can apply and be accepted at any time prior to the beginnings of the semester. For the Fall semester each year is August 1 and the Spring semester deadline is January 1. Priority for scholarships and need-based discounts are given to students who meet the deadlines.

Provisional acceptance means that you submitted your application, pastoral reference, and unofficial/official high school transcripts for review. The academic committee met and approved your acceptance provisionally as long as you submit your official documents forthwith.

Your letter will be mailed shortly after you have been fully accepted.

SAT/ACT scores are required for US and Canadian applicants. Scores will not be used as acceptance criterion but for academic placement only. 

The MMR is an immunization against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella.

This immunization is required by all students seeking to study in the United States.

If you were born before 1956, you are considered immune and need not obtain these vaccines.

If you are unable to obtain the MMR in your country (it is mostly unavailable in African nations), you must write a letter to the Northpoint Bible College stating this difficulty.

At that point you will be permitted to receive your MMR once you arrive at Northpoint.
