Early Acceptance Status

Early Acceptance status is assigned to a high school student with a minimum GPA of 3.00 who has at least finished his or her junior year of high school and has submitted all of the necessary official documents except proof of high school graduation. Additionally, official ACT or SAT scores must be received. The minimum ACT score is 19 composite and the minimum SAT score is 910 (combined Critical Reading and Math). Before registering for Adventist University courses, students must present evidence of graduation with the minimum of a standard high school diploma and submit official copies of all final high school transcripts showing a graduation date.

The final unweighted high school GPA will determine enrollment status:

  • Regular—GPA 2.50 or higher
  • Probationary—GPA 2.00 to 2.49

Students with an Early Acceptance status will be eligible to be considered for acceptance to a degree program only when they have fulfilled the admission requirements for that program and have submitted a final official high school transcript including the graduation date. Currently, Occupational Therapy Assistant is the only degree program that will consider Early Acceptance students for admission prior to successful high school graduation.
