Freshman Students

We strongly encourage you to apply online. It allows you to self-report your academic information instead of having to request that your high school send us your most recent transcript.

If you choose to complete the paper application:

• you will need to ask your high school to send us an official copy of your most recent transcript
• submit a $25 application fee
• send your official ACT and/or SAT scores for scholarship consideration

You will be offered admission if you have a 3.0 or higher core GPA* and have no deficiencies in the required college preparatory courses.  

You will be considered for admission if you have a 2.5 core GPA* and have no more than one deficiency in any two areas in the college preparatory courses. If you have a combination of a math and lab science deficiency, you are not admissible.

Home schooled students must provide a high school transcript, college transcripts if there is college coursework, and ACT or SATI composite test scores. A score of 22 on the ACT (Arizona resident) or 24 (non-resident) OR SATI score of 1040 (Arizona resident) or 1110 (non-resident) is required for admission consideration of home schooled applicants.

Please note: The writing portions of the ACT and the SATI will not be used by processing test scores for admission.

* GPA is based on a 4.0 scale and is calculated using only the 16 core courses listed under course requirements.
