The Transfer Nebraska website offers a way to help students better prepare for college, especially if they are taking dual credit courses. Many college courses are transferable, but some are not accepted by individual institutions. This website helps any student, whether in college or high school, to determine if their college coursework will be accepted by a specific college or university. Some things for you to know about the Transfer Nebraska partnership among the State’s 16 public postsecondary institutions:
- Over 70,000 course equivalencies are shown in Transfer Nebraska.
- See transfers among the five University of Nebraska campuses, three state colleges, and eight community and tribal colleges, as well as other in-state and out-of-state institutions.

Bishop Neumann is proud of the students who have earned membership in the National Honor Society, the nation’s premier organization dedicated to recognizing outstanding high school students. Since its founding in 1921, NHS has honored students who exemplify academic achievement while demonstrating strong leadership, meaningful service, and exemplary character.
Membership in NHS is more than an academic honor—it is a commitment to continued growth, leadership, and service. Students are encouraged to actively serve their school and community while setting an example for others through their integrity and dedication.
