All textbooks and other materials are in English; therefore, applicants for whom English is a second language must be able to demonstrate college level proficiency in this language. This may be accomplished by the successful completion of an associate’s, bachelor’s or graduate degree from a U.S. college or university; completion of 24 academic semester hours from a college at which English is the primary language; or satisfactory English proficiency exam scores. Speak to your admissions advisor for more information. Graduation from high school or satisfactory completion of the General Educational Development (GED) requirements is a prerequisite for admission into all CCNH programs. A bachelor’s degree is required for admission into any master’s level program, Doctor of Naturopathy, and/or Doctor of Natural Health degree programs. A master’s degree is required for entry into the Ph.D. programs.

If you have prior college education, you may be able to transfer some of your credits to CCNH. See Transferring Credits to CCNH.

Enrolling with Advanced Standing

  • If you already hold a bachelor’s degree, you may enter Clayton College at the M.A., M.S., N.D. or N.H.D. level by completing the necessary prerequisites.

Transferring Credits to CCNH

If you have prior college education, you may be able to transfer some of your credits to CCNH. The requirements are:

  • The course must be comparable to a course required for the program you are entering; transfer credit will not be accepted for CCNH electives.
  • The grade must be C or better.
  • Eligible courses may be transferred only at the time of enrollment.
  • Prior to receipt of your official transcript, provisional transfer of credit can be determined by an admissions advisor.
  • The courses being transferred must have been taken at a school whose credits CCNH recognizes.
  • CCNH recognizes credits from state junior colleges, community colleges and universities. Credits from other schools may be recognized on a case-by-case basis as determined by our registrar.

Transferring Credits to Other Institutions

Just as we have requirements for acceptance of credits earned elsewhere, other institutions have their own requirements. Each individual transferring from one school to another must be evaluated by the receiving school. We will send up to three official CCNH transcripts to other institutions free of charge.

If you withdraw after 30 days, but before 60 days, you will receive up to 50% of the tuition paid based on the amount of coursework you have completed, less a $200 administrative fee. If you have been enrolled for more than 60 days, no refund will be given.
