Admission Procedures

  • Submit application, along with $30.00 non-refundable application fee, to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
  • Have an official copy of high school transcript or General Educational Development (GED) report and official high school transcript mailed to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
  • Submit test score results from the American College Testing Program (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). An application for admission may be submitted before the students take the test. It is recommended that prospective freshmen take the ACT or SAT in the fall of their senior year in high school. In order to register for the test, consult your high school counselor or write to The American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, IA 52243, concerning the ACT or write to the College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, NJ 08540, concerning the SAT.

Each freshman applicant should indicate his or her selection of an intended major on the application form. This information will be of assistance in the academic advising of the student. University College is the initial college of enrollment for all freshmen entering the university. (See the University College section in this catalog for an explanation of the role of University College.) It should be noted that selection of a major while enrolled in University College does not guarantee admission to a degree-granting college or school. For specific information on a particular college or school, see admissions requirements for that college or school in Section V of this catalog.
