Additional Testing. Waynesburg University reserves the right to test further any applicant. Students may be invited to demonstrate their ability in tests administered by the staff of the Admissions Office and recommended by the Admissions Committee. 5. Personal Interview. Waynesburg University believes that a personal interview with the applicant is highly desirable and every effort is made to arrange for one. The University invites all applicants to write or call and arrange for a visit and interview. Parents of applicants are also welcome. Upon request the Admissions Committee may request an interview of an applicant. 6. Advanced Deposits. Resident students accepted for the 2012-13 academic year are charged a $150 deposit. Commuting students are to submit a deposit of $75. This deposit is credited to the student’s account and must be paid according to the date established in the deposit letter. Fifty percent of the deposit is refundable for full-time students only if the Admissions Office is notified in writing of the student’s intention to withdraw his or her application by May 1, 2012 (second semester, December 14, 2012). After these dates there will be no refund. August deposits that are to be carried over to the January term will be transferred as long as the Admissions Office receives notification before May 1, 2012. If the student decides not to attend during the January term, the Admissions Office must receive written notification of a student’s intention to withdraw before December 14, 2012, in order to receive a 50% refund of the carried over deposit. After that date, no refund will be issued. If written notification is received after May 1, 2012, the deposits will be transferred but will remain only as credit if the student attends that January term. If the student then decides not to attend the January term, no refund will be issued. January term deposits will not be carried over to the August term. A part-time student who makes a deposit and then notifies the Admissions Office in writing of the student’s intention to withdraw his or her application before the first day of classes for each semester will receive a 50% refund.
Early Admission Policy Waynesburg University grants admission to secondary school juniors provided the student: 1. has a strong secondary school record (top 10% of high school class and a combined score of 1180 – critical reading and math combined – on the SAT I: Reasoning Test or 26 on the ACT); 2. possesses the maturity to satisfactorily adjust to college life; 3. is assured in writing by the secondary school administration that the student will be granted a diploma upon satisfactory completion of a specified amount of acceptable college work; and 4. has written permission from parent or guardian. Students accepted into the program may apply for the Accelerated Honor Scholarship. This award is valued at one-half of the year’s tuition for the academic year in which the student first enrolls. The scholarship will be renewed at the initial amount for four years as long as a 3.25 cumulative grade point average (GPA) is maintained. Students who accept the Accelerated Honor Scholarship are ineligible to compete or be awarded any other Waynesburg University scholarship.
