Test-Score Free Admissions: EMU is test-score free for US Citizens and students with at least one year of successful academic experience in the United States. See “International Student Admission Processes” for information about English test score requirements for students who do not meet this criteria. Test scores can still be optionally sent directly to the university from the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT - EMU code: 5181) of the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Testing Program (ACT - EMU Code 4348). Even if test scores are submitted by students who qualify for test-free admissions, they do not have an impact on admission or scholarship decisions.
Prospective First-Year Students
High School Transcripts: Applicants need to request a current transcript with course work from grades 9-11 (3 years of academic record) from their high school to EMU Admissions. A supplementary (final) transcript will be required upon completion of high school. Students graduating early are required to request confirmation from their high school to be sent to the admissions office. Home schooled applicants must similarly submit a current and final transcript with high school course work. A General Educational Development (GED) score may be submitted for consideration in the admission process in place of a high school transcript.
Application Requirements: Admission may be granted to first-year applicants who have a high school weighted grade point average of 2.6 or above (on a 4.00 scale), and thorough review of the student’s application and other supporting application materials. Non-academic criteria are also considered, including extracurricular activities and work experience. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and may be asked to submit supplementary materials, granted unconditional, granted conditional admission, or denied. Conditional admission is granted to students each semester who fall below the requirements for unconditional admission but who otherwise demonstrate the ability and motivation to adequately perform university-level work. All students are supported by our first-year advisors, under the supervision of the Provost’s office. The first-year advising program provides holistic advising and student support to strengthen the student's potential for success. Students work with a first-year advisor to develop a manageable course load and to help them access other services on campus (tutoring, Office of Academic Access, career services, etc.).
Supplementary Materials: Applicants who do not meet the basic entry requirements may be required to submit a one page writing sample and secure two academic references, at least one of which must be a core subject teacher (English, Science, Math, or Social Studies).
