Admission Policy for Freshmen

A freshman applicant (please review “Admission of Homeschooled Students” for additional information, if applicable) may be considered academically eligible for admission to Trevecca Nazarene University when the following condition is met:

  • A high school grade point average of 2.500 or above based on a 4.0 scale.

A freshman applicant may be admitted on Academic Alert after being reviewed by the Academic Decision Committee.

Academic Alert could result in:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
