Admission Policy for Freshmen
A freshman applicant may be considered academically eligible for admission to Trevecca Nazarene University when the following two conditions are met:
- A high school grade point average of 2.5 or above based on a 4.0 scale.
- An ACT composite score of 18 or above, or SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math total score of 960 or above. Admission decisions will be based on ACT composite scores or SAT total scores. ACT superscoring will be accepted for scholarship purposes and course placement only.*
If only one of the admissions conditions is met, a freshman applicant may be reviewed for admission on Academic Alert.
Academic Alert could result in:
- Opt in placement in INT 1010 Study Skills or INT 1210 Fundamentals of Student Success (see "Academic Alert" in the Developmental Education & Basic Skills section of the Catalog).
- The student's progress will be monitored through interviews and regular progress reports under the supervision of the Associate Dean of Student Success in the Center for Student Development.
- All developmental and basic skills courses required by placement testing will be taken in specified sequence.
Academic Alert will be lifted when all of the requirements have been successfully completed.
*Due to COVID-19, Trevecca Nazarene University is temporarily transitioning to a test-optional admission policy for ACT/SAT scores. This temporary change in policy has been approved for the Fall 2021 semester and Spring 2022 semester.
