Admission to the University
Recommended High School Course For the secondary school graduate, sixteen units in academic subjects are normally required for admission to the University. These units should be selected from those courses that the high school recommends as the college preparatory program.
Admission Procedures Applicants seeking admission should write to the Office of Admissions requesting the necessary application forms. The responsibility for the completion of these forms rests with the applicant. The following credentials are required: 1. Formal Application. The standard application form may be obtained by writing to the Office of Admissions or by applying on-line through the University website, www.waynesburg.edu. A twenty-dollar, nonrefundable application fee should accompany the application. Checks or money orders should be made payable to Waynesburg University and sent to the Office of Admissions. 2. Transcript of Credits. High school transcript must include all work pursued through the junior year of secondary school. Students who have graduated prior to submitting their applications are required to present a complete academic record. Transcripts of transfer students must include all college work completed to date. 3. Testing Programs. All entering freshmen must submit scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I: Reasoning Test) of the CEEB or the American College Test (ACT). The scores may be submitted as part of the high school transcript if the student has not furnished the University with an official score report from the testing agency. Information concerning these examinations may be obtained from high school counselors or by writing to the Office of Admissions. 2012-2013
Admission
Information on “Admission to the University” is based on polices in effect as of August, 2012. Changes in policy may be made by the University Board of Trustees. The student body at Waynesburg University is carefully selected. The University is primarily interested in the student who is thoroughly prepared for the academic challenges of university life and who has demonstrated the ability to benefit from higher education. In judging the qualifications of applicants, the Admissions Committee adheres to the following basic requirements: 1. Graduation from an accredited high school or evidence of satisfactory work at another university. 2. Satisfactory grade point average and satisfactory rank in high school graduating class. 3. Satisfactory scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I: Reasoning Test) of the College Entrance Examination Board or the American College Testing Program (ACT). The SAT score will continue to be calculated with the math and critical reading scores combined. The writing score for the SAT and ACT will only be used for placement in freshmen English. 4. A student’s individual character will also be considered. Waynesburg University operates a “rolling admission” program under which qualified applicants are admitted as soon as their applications are completed and have been evaluated.
