Admissions Policy

Candidates for admission are considered on an individual basis. Candidates may gain admission to the University or a specific academic program as a high school student, transfer student, returning student or international student.

Each applicant’s record is considered in its entirety. Transcripts (unofficial or official) from high school, and transcripts (unofficial or official) from each college and university attended are required. The College of Saint Mary utilizes the National Student Clearinghouse to confirm and verify an applicant’s educational record reported on the application. Official transcripts are required at matriculation.

Final selection of applicants to be admitted shall be made by the university, which reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant for any lawful reason. Qualified students are admitted in compliance with federal and state non-discrimination laws.

ACT or SAT scores will be utilized for placement purposes. Students who do not have ACT or SAT scores may take a placement exam. See Competencies policy.
