All students must submit official transcripts in English of all secondary work and any university work you have completed. Have official transcripts sent from the schools you have attended.

For high schools and universities outside the US, international students must submit their official high school and any university transcripts to an evaluation agency that is a member of the Association of International Credential Evaluators, Inc., (AICE) or a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) for translation, evaluation, and to provide a cumulative grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale. An original copy of the evaluation must be on file before the student is considered for admission. A minimum GPA requirement of 3.0 for freshmen is required for secondary work. All students who wish to transfer from another college or university must have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better to qualify for undergraduate admission.  Athletes who are planning to play on one of our NAIA teams must use the evaluation service InCred.

The official scores must be sent from E3PT, TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo. The English Proficiency requirement may be waived for students transferring to the university from an United States University, who have completed a minimum of 30 college-level credits and meet the minimum GPA requirement for admission.

ACT or SAT examinations are required for freshman or transfer students who have less than 30 hours of college work. The minimum scores that are required are a composite score of 21 on the ACT or 980/990 SAT critical reading and math combined score.
