Admission Policy for Freshmen
A freshman applicant may be considered academically eligible for admission to Trevecca Nazarene University when one of the following two conditions are met:
- A high school grade point average of 2.750 or above based on a 4.0 scale.
- A high school grade point average of 2.500 – 2.749 based on a 4.0 scale with 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.*
A freshman applicant may be admitted on Academic Alert after being reviewed by the Academic Decision Committee.
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 transitioned to a test-optional admission policy for ACT/SAT scores based on a student’s high school GPA. This temporary change in policy has been approved for upcoming entry terms as the University continues to monitor retention data and student success.
