Admissions @ Union

General Academic Requirements

An applicant for the freshman class must be a graduate of an accredited high school with at least 20 units in Core Subjects. Core Subjects must include these minimum units: English, 4; Mathematics, 3; Social Sciences, 3; Natural Sciences, 3; Foreign Languages/Fine Arts, 2; with the balance being completed in approved electives. A state high school equivalency diploma will be accepted in lieu of a high school diploma. Additionally, students qualifying for Unconditional Admission to Union University must meet two of the following criteria:

  1. 22 ACT (excluding Writing component), 1100 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or 72 Classical Learning Test (CLT)
  2. 2.5 GPA
  3. Top 50% of Graduating Class

Students who qualify for Unconditional Admission must have a minimum of 18 ACT, 960 SAT or 55 CLT and a 2.0 Core GPA regardless of whether or not either of these criteria were utilized to qualify for admission. These two criteria serve as a "floor" for Unconditional Admission.

Union University will accept superscores for all student standardized entrance exams for undergraduate admissions and institutional scholarship purposes. Superscoring at Union University means that Union will consider a student's highest section (or subtest) scores regardless of test date. The super composite score is calculated as the average of the best section or subject scores. Students who wish to utilize the superscoring opportunity need to officially request individual test results from each test taken be sent to Union University directly from ACT/SAT/CLT, their high school or homeschool umbrella organization. Students should confirm with their Enrollment Counselor the scores Union currently has on file. The super score will be calculated from all ACT/SAT/CLT scores received directly from the testing agency or school.

2021-22 ADMISSION NOTE: Due to limited availability of standardized testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, Union University is introducing a test-optional application process for undergraduate applicants. Beginning with students who apply for spring 2021 admission and continuing through summer 2022, Union will not require students to submit standardized test scores when applying for undergraduate admission. We encourage students to read the Test Optional FAQ for additional information related to the application process and the benefits of submitting standardized test scores when available.

Occasionally students who do not meet minimum criteria may be accepted with conditions. See Conditionally Admitted Students under Alternative Categories of Admission in the Admissions section of our Undergraduate Catalogue. Students conditionally admitted to Union University may be required to participate in the Keystone Program.

Before Acceptance to the Freshman Class may be granted, the applicant must also file the following information in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:

  1. An admissions application and (non-refundable) application fee,
  2. An official ACT, SAT(R) or CLT report, and
  3. An official high school transcript.

Before registering for classes, the applicant must also file in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions a tuition deposit of $200 to reserve a place in class and apply to the tuition charges. A housing deposit of $100 is required to reserve an apartment on campus.

Upon high school graduation, freshmen accepted to the University must submit an official high school transcript verifying graduation and all dual enrollment college transcripts sent from the college (regardless of whether or not you want the credits to transfer).

Admission of Students Transferring From Another College

A transfer student must have completed at least 24 semester hours of transferable credit at an accredited college in order to enter Union under this category; otherwise, the applicant must meet freshman admission requirements and transfer GPA requirements. The academic status of a transfer student will be based on his/her cumulative GPA of all accredited post-secondary work attempted. The admission file of a student having less than a 2.3 cumulative GPA will be presented to the Undergraduate Admissions/ Readmissions Committee following an interview with the Director of Academic Support. The student may be denied admission, admitted as a Conditional Student (as stated in Catalogue), or admitted. The determination for the above decision shall be the full academic record, recommendations, and explanation of any extenuating circumstances and will be detailed in writing from the Director of Undergraduate Admissions and the Director of Academic Support on behalf of the Admissions Committee.
