Submit an unofficial copy of your final high school transcript or diploma showing that you earned a standard high school diploma.
If you have not completed a minimum of 15 college level credit hours, you will be required to submit your official high school transcripts and official SAT and/or ACT scores in addition to the above mentioned items. Please refer to the Freshman admission process.
Admission Standards
Our admissions philosophy is very simple – we look at each applicant individually as a whole because our mission is to educate the whole individual. There are no stated minimum scores for GPA or test scores. However, we strongly consider GPA and class rank as evidence of past academic success, SAT/ACT scores as an indicator of future academic success, and extracurricular activities with emphasis on leadership, volunteerism, service and commitment as evidence of the breadth and depth of involvement and a predictor of contributions as a member of our campus community.
Selection Process
Selection of students admitted to the University is based upon the credentials submitted by the applicant. The University will give careful consideration to all applicants who submit their credentials by the deadline date. Applicants for regular admission will be notified of their admission status within three weeks of receipt of all required forms and information. This process will continue until the available seats are filled.
