[ALL TRANSCRIPTS, whether high school or university, must be sent directly from that institution to the Admissions Office of Asbury University. Hand-carried transcripts or transcripts delivered by the student may be used for evaluation only. They are NOT acceptable as final, official transcripts.]

  • A student who has completed less than 12 transferable semester hours of academic credit after high school will be considered for admission as a first-time freshman. Credit from credit for prior learning, military or other non-college sources does not count as college attendance. Students with these credits only will still apply as new freshmen. [A high school transcript, GED, or high school diploma is required.]
  • A student who has earned at least 12 transferable semester hours of academic credit after high school at another college or university will be considered for admission as a transfer student.
  • Students with a bachelor’s degree who are seeking elementary education certification follow the same application process as transfer students.
  • Students who are not seeking a degree, or who are enrolled in another institution, but wish to take an undergraduate online course from Asbury University may apply, completing the Special Status Application online at www.asbury.edu/apply.

When to Apply

Asbury University has a rolling admission policy, meaning applications for admission are accepted throughout the calendar year. Applications are accepted for multiple starts in fall, spring, or summer semesters. Students are encouraged to apply for admission at the earliest possible date. An early application for admission provides optimal opportunity for financial aid awards and course selection.

Readmission

Former Asbury University students who have withdrawn from the University or in any way failed to maintain continuous enrollment must apply for re-admission. Students applying for re-admission must submit:

  1. A completed Asbury University Application for Re-admission www.asbury.edu/apply
  2. An official transcript of all course work from all institutions attended since the last Asbury enrollment.

To be re-admitted, an applicant must be in good standing academically, socially and financially at Asbury University. An applicant not in good standing in one or more of these categories will be referred to the Admissions Review Committee for consideration.

Readmission is not automatically granted. In the event a former student is not readmitted, the university will provide the reason(s) in writing.

NOTE: Students who withdraw or become inactive must reenroll within two years of the last term attended to continue on the same year catalog degree requirements. Students who reenroll after the two years become subject to all catalog degree requirements in place at the time of reenrollment. 

ALSO, returning students may not reenroll in a degree program or major that has been discontinued. Returning students in such programs must declare a current active program or major at the time of readmission.

Admission Decisions

When a candidate has completed the application process, one of the following decisions will be made:

  • Admission in Good Standing
  • Provisional Admission. In some cases, students will be given provisional admission based on self-reported information or unofficial documents pending receipt of official documentation to complete their application file. Students will be required to submit all outstanding official documentation prior to the term in which they intend to enroll. If all official documentation arrives prior to the start of the term, the student will be granted admission in good standing. If all official documentation fails to arrive before the start of the term, students will not be allowed to register and will be considered for admission during the next enrollment period.
  • Denied Admission. Asbury University reserves the right to deny admission to any applicant when that decision is determined to be in the best interest of the student or the institution. An applicant who has been denied admission has the right to appeal that decision in writing to the Admissions Review Committee provided the applicant can present relevant additional information in support of his or her application.
  • Applicants will be notified of the decision in writing.
