Undergraduate Admission

Freshmen

First time freshman beginning Spring 2021 and beyond will not be required to submit standardized test scores (ACT/SAT) in order to receive an admissions decision. Students will only be required to submit their official high school transcripts under this new test-optional format. If a student has at least 18 hours of dual-credit, they may also be admitted if their overall GPA is greater than 2.0.
