FAQS
Is there an application deadline?
Anderson University reviews applications on a rolling admission basis, which means students are notified shortly after their application is completed at any point in the year. However, our earliest scholarship deadline is December 1, so we encourage students to keep scholarship deadlines in mind when completing their application.
Does Anderson University require the SAT, ACT, or CLT for admission?
We are test optional and do not require test scores. However, we do accept SAT, ACT, and CLT scores, which are considered and sometimes required for certain scholarships.
What is the minimum GPA required for admission?
The minimum GPA is a 3.0, and we consider the student’s weighted GPA on their high school transcript.
How should I submit my high school transcript?
Students should request for their high school to send us their transcript officially through an electronic, third-party clearing house (Parchment, Scoir, etc.) or a physical copy through the mail.
Homeschool transcripts can be sent here from the homeschool association or parent.
Does Anderson University require me to take a certain number of foreign language, english, or science credits in high school?
No, we do not have a specific or minimum number of requirement for specific subjects, as long as a student meets their high school’s graduation requirement.
Financial Aid
The financial aid process can seem overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be. The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships is dedicated to making Anderson University more affordable by informing, counseling, and assisting you with finding financial aid in a timely and equitable manner.
