Freshman Student Admission Guidelines

High School Courses

Candidates for admission the University of Evansville are expected to have studied a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, which includes these subjects, at the minimum:

These courses are recommended, but not required for admission consideration:

We recommend that students take as difficult a schedule as they are able to complete successfully. Our admission and scholarship policies give strong preferences to students who have challenged themselves beyond the minimum courses outlined above.

SAT I/ACT

Students applying for admission to the University of Evansville's Fall 2009 freshman class will be required to submit results from either the ACT Assessment with the ACT Writing Test or the new SAT-I (critical reading, math, and writing).

Because this is a transitional period, UE will still give full admission consideration to applicants who have taken the SAT-I without the writing section or the ACT without the Writing Test.  However, before enrolling at UE, these students will need to either:

  1. Take a subsequent SAT-I or ACT Assessment with the ACT Writing Test, or
  2. Participate in a writing assessment during UE's Summer Orientation and Academic Registration (SOAR). These students will be charged a participation fee for taking part in the SOAR writing assessment.

Guidance Counselor Recommendation Form

The counselor is asked to comment about the applicant with regard to time management, motivation, honesty, and maturity.
