HOW TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION

Undergraduate Admissions Students interested in attending Jarvis Christian University should request an admissions packet or apply on-line. Jarvis Christian University maintains an admissions policy that is flexible and affords prospective students the opportunity to demonstrate through past academic performance, test scores, and other supplemental information that they can benefit from a Jarvis Christian educational experience. New students seeking admissions to the University or in a specific program must provide official transcripts and standardized test scores (ACT/SAT). Academic performance in high school and previously attended colleges, along with standardized test scores, will be used in making admission decisions, scholarship awards, and diagnostic placement in general education program courses, including mathematics, English, and reading. Admission to Jarvis Christian University will be considered for students who fall in one of the categories listed below.

Freshman: A freshman applicant is a person who has never attended an institution of higher education beyond high school or who has attended classes at a post-secondary institution while still in high school. Students who have taken college courses must submit transcripts of all coursework, whether or not credit is expected.

Transfer: A transfer applicant is a student who has attended another regionally accredited post-secondary institution (whether or not credit was earned) after completing high school.

International: An international applicant is a student who is neither a U.S. citizen nor resident alien of this country.

Re-Admit: A re-admit student is any student not attending school for one regular semester, excluding summer sessions, must reapply for admissions.
