Admission of Veterans
Veterans will be permitted to file applications after the deadline, provided the date of release from active duty occurred within two months prior to the date of application. Veterans, service members, and dependents using veterans benefits are expected to adhere to the admissions criteria as established by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions must receive applications at least 30 days before the beginning of the semester for which the candidate wishes to enroll. If the applicant has fewer than 15 eligible credits on their transcript, they can be accepted as a new freshman. If they have 15 or more credits on their transcript, they can be accepted as a transfer student. The SAT requirement is waived for veterans and service members. Application fees are also waived for veterans, service members, and dependents using veterans benefits. The applicant must speak with personnel from Veteran Student Services (VSS) in order to waive the fee. The applicant must contact VSS prior to the start of their classes in order to receive their veterans benefits.
