A student will be considered for admission to the university when his/her file is complete with the following credentials:

• A completed application for admission along with the non-refundable $20 application fee.
• An official copy of the high school transcript or GED scores, or all college transcripts (transfers).
• ACT or SAT scores

Applicants must graduate from a state-accredited high school or complete the equivalent of a high school education, and must be in good standing both academically and socially. Applicants may be accepted based on a partial high school transcript, which must include at least six semesters, and the ACT/SAT scores. A final, official high school transcript is required to verify that remaining credits were completed at a satisfactory level. The final transcript must include the date of graduation and class rank. Students may not attend classes without verification of the final transcript.

Home educated students must submit transcript documentation from the primary instructor demonstrating completion of the basic credit hours for high school. The transcript should not only demonstrate academic completion, but should also include a short, written evaluation from the primary instructor. Kansas Wesleyan University reserves the right to request additional portfolio or performance-based assessments, if necessary, to document competency for admission.

Convictions of offenses under statutory law may be a consideration for evaluation of applicants for admission into the University or any of its programs. Evidence of successful rehabilitation from such offenses must be provided from applicants who may be included in this category. In addition to a letter of recommendation from a law enforcement or judicial representative, a complete copy of the court journal will be required for consideration by the Enrollment Committee.

Non-Native Speakers of English must also provide official TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores or ASPECT ESL Proficiency Course. A minimum TOEFL score of 500 or ASPECT Level 7 is required for regular admission to the undergraduate program, and a score of 550 is required for admission to the M.B.A. program. Students with ASPECT Level scores must submit all progress reports and references from the ASPECT program. This requirement will be waived if the applicant graduated from a high school in which the primary language of instruction was English or if the student completed fifteen or more transferable hours from an accredited college or university in which the primary language of instruction was English.

Notification of Admission to the University. When all required official credentials have been received, the student will be notified of the decision for admission by letter on a rolling basis. All accepted full-time students must pay a $100 deposit prior to registration. This deposit is made to reserve a residence hall room, scholarships or aid award, and/or to allow registration in classes. The deposit will be refundable upon written request after graduation or departure from the University after completion of at least one term. Financial assistance cannot be used to pay the deposit.
