Admissions

Admission Policy

Union University seeks to educate students to be servant leaders, ready to carry out the vocation to which God has called them and equipped with the abilities necessary to think Christianly and perform skillfully in the world. To this end, Union University seeks to recruit and admit quality undergraduate students of qualified preparation and good character. Union University is primarily an undergraduate institution and seeks to enroll students who desire the educational and Christian life experiences that are offered here and explained in the Mission Statement and Core Values of the University found in the beginning pages of the Catalogue.

How to Apply

The Union University Office of Undergraduate Admissions receives and processes applications to traditional undergraduate programs for all semesters and terms of the University. Students may apply online at www.uu.edu/apply. The application fee is $35. For more information, call (731) 661-5100 or 1-800-33UNION. Applications will be considered for acceptance on a rolling basis. Since a limited number of spaces may be available for a class, early application is strongly recommended.

General Requirements

Age: An applicant must be at least 16 years of age unless written approval is granted by the Admissions Committee.

Character: An applicant is expected to be of good character. An applicant previously charged, arrested, or convicted of any crime is required to have a personal interview with the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions or Dean of Student Life prior to a decision being made regarding admission. Union University reserves the right to monitor an applicant’s social media content as a part of the acceptance review process. We also reserve the right to revisit or revoke an admissions decision if content is discovered that violates Union University’s community values.  A detailed explanation of each community value can be found online at www.uu.edu/studentlife/accountability/community-values.cfm.

After the applicant has met the entrance requirements, the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions will issue a formal letter regarding admittance to the University. Initial admittance to Union University does not imply automatic admission in future semesters. Any student admitted by giving false information or by withholding needed information may be dismissed or retained on probation. This decision will be made after consultation by the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions with the appropriate committees and administrators.

Upon receipt and review by the University of all information required for consideration of admission/readmission, the University reserves the right to refuse admission/readmission to any student or applicant based upon a determination by the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions and/ or the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee that admission/readmission of the applicant would not be consistent with the purpose of the University. All documents submitted become the property of Union University.

Any student that wishes to appeal a decision made by the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee has the right of appeal.  If a student wishes to appeal, he or she should submit a letter of appeal to the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee. Each case will be considered on its merits, taking into account the complete academic profile and record, and any special circumstances that might reflect on the student’s ability to be successful at Union University.  The candidate may be required to appear before a sub-committee. If the student wishes to appeal the final decision, a formal letter of appeal can be submitted to the University Provost.

 

Admission of Freshmen

Academic Requirements and Stipulations

An applicant for the freshman class must be a high school graduate with at least 20 units in Core Subjects. Core Subjects must include these minimum units: English, 4; Mathematics, 3; Social Sciences, 3; Natural Sciences, 3; Foreign Languages/Fine Arts, 2; with the balance being completed in approved electives. A state high school equivalency diploma will be accepted in lieu of a high school diploma.

  1. 22 ACT/1100 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math)/72 Classical Learning Test
  2. 2.5 GPA
  3. Top 50% of Graduating Class

Students who qualify for Unconditional Admission must have a minimum of 18 ACT/960 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math)/55 Classical Learning Test (CLT) and a 2.0 GPA regardless of whether or not either of these criteria were utilized to qualify for admission. These two criteria serve as a "floor" for Unconditional Admission.

Occasionally students who do not meet minimum criteria may be accepted with conditions. See Conditionally Admitted Students under Alternative Categories of Admission.

Before Acceptance to the Freshman Class may be granted, the applicant must also file the following information in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:

  2. An official ACT, CLT or SAT(R) report, and
  3. An official high school transcript.

 

Before registering for classes, the applicant must submit a $200 tuition deposit to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to reserve a place in class. The deposit will apply to tuition charges. A residence life deposit of $100 is required to reserve an apartment on campus. An official transcript/record of all dual enrollment and advancement placement credits must be submitted. Even if withdrawal occurred prior to earning credits and even if those credits do not apply to the current degree being sought, official transcripts must be sent from each institution attended.

Upon high school graduation, freshmen accepted to the University must submit an official high school transcript verifying graduation.

The refund schedule and policies regarding deposits are detailed in the Financial Information section entitled “Refunds.”

Early Admission

Outstanding students may be enrolled in high school and Union as part-time students upon application with a minimum high school GPA of 3.5 considering all coursework and a minimum ACT composite score of 20, SAT 1030 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or 63 Classical Learning Test (CLT).

  1. A minimum high school GPA of 3.5 considering all coursework,
  2. A minimum ACT composite score of 20, SAT 1030 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or 63 Classical Learning Test (CLT),

Home School Admission and Enrollment Philosophy

Union University actively seeks to admit and enroll students with a home school background. Graduating students may be admitted to Union University as freshmen if they meet the same requirements as students from private and/or public high schools as listed under Admission of Freshmen. If a class rank is unavailable, home school students may be admitted without conditions provided they have a minimum ACT composite score of 22, 1100 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or 72 Classical Learning Test (CLT) and a 2.5 GPA. 

Admission of Students Transferring from Another College

A transfer student must have completed at least 24 semester hours of transferable credit post high school graduation at an accredited college in order to enter Union under this category; otherwise, the applicant must meet freshman admission requirements and transfer GPA requirements. The academic status of a transfer student will be based on his/her cumulative GPA of all accredited post-secondary work attempted. The admission file of a student having less than a 2.3 cumulative GPA will be presented to the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee following an interview with the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions, the Director, Center for Academic Success, or a CAS Coordinator. The student may be denied admission, admitted as a Conditional Student (as stated in Catalogue), admitted on Academic Probation, or fully admitted. The determination for the above decision shall be the full academic record, recommendations, and explanation of any extenuating circumstances and will be detailed in writing from the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions or the Director, Center for Academic Success on behalf of the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee.

Before acceptance into Union University may be granted, a transfer student must file the following information in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:

  1. An admissions application and $35 application fee,
  2. An official transcript from all institutions previously attended. International transcripts must be evaluated by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) certified transcript evaluation company. Even if withdrawal occurred prior to earning credits and even if those credits do not apply to the current degree being sought, official transcripts must be sent from each institution attended, and
  3. A completed student transfer form may be required for students who have received official disciplinary action at a previously attended institution or if special circumstances arise that show a necessity.

Before registering for classes, the applicant must also file the following information in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:

  1. A complete official transcript from all institutions of higher learning attended (including dual enrollment programs),
  2. A tuition deposit of $200, applicable to the entering semester, is required after a student has been accepted for admission to reserve a place in class, and
  3. A residence life deposit of $100 is required of residential students to reserve an apartment on campus.

The refund schedule and policies regarding deposits are detailed in the Financial Information section entitled “Refunds.”

Credit will be accepted from other regionally accredited colleges if it parallels courses offered by Union. The minimum grade for credit acceptance is “C.” No more than 72 semester hours will be accepted from non-baccalaureate granting colleges toward a bachelor’s degree at Union University. Grades from other institutions do not transfer and therefore will not be recorded.

Union University will accept students from a Bible college accredited by The Association for Biblical Higher Education.

  1. All regular policies pertaining to the admission of transfer students must be fulfilled.
  2. The student must earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in at least 12 hours of credit completed at Union University post-Bible college attendance in order for the credit from the Bible college to be accepted.

Admission of Students Who Already Have a Bachelor's Degree

Any student having graduated from an accredited undergraduate institution may be admitted to Union University by the following process:

  1. An admissions application and (non-refundable) application fee, and
  2. A complete official transcript from all institutions attended.

Students having received a baccalaureate degree are required to submit a student transfer form only if special circumstances arise to show a necessity. A room deposit is required if the student desires campus housing.

Admission of Former Union University Students

Any student once admitted to Union University and then misses one or more semesters (fall or spring) must be readmitted by the following process:

  1. Complete a new application (fee is not required),
  2. Clear all previous academic, social, and financial obligations,
  3. A complete official transcript from all institutions attended since leaving, and
  4. Submit a student transfer form from the last institution attended only if special circumstances arise that show necessity.

A student who voluntarily withdraws and seeks to re-enroll for a later semester/term will be required to be readmitted if the student enrolls at another institution during the absence from Union, regardless of the length of the absence. If a student voluntarily withdraws prior to attending the first day of classes, does not attend another university, and seeks to enroll again in a subsequent semester, that student must be readmitted. If the student voluntarily withdraws after attending the first day of classes, does not attend another university, and seeks to enroll again in a subsequent semester, that student does not have to be readmitted. Voluntary withdrawal does not guarantee permission to re-enroll to the University nor does it automatically exclude the student from future enrollment.

A former Union University student having less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA from Union University or less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA from all institutions attended after leaving Union University will be considered for readmission by the Undergraduate Admission/Readmissions Committee. The student may be denied admission, readmitted with conditions, or readmitted under their prior academic standing at Union University.

Admission of International Students

All international students will meet the same freshman and transfer requirements for regular admission to the University. All international students will complete the Application for Admission and submit a $35 application fee. All documents must be in English. Official transcripts must be evaluated, at the student's expense, through an approved NACES service for the evaluation of international transcripts. Students who have earned college/ university credit must request a course by course evaluation. The following additional requirements must be met:

  1. Electronic submission of required immunization records to approved third party vendor.
  2. Students will purchase the International Insurance Policy offered through Union University. Exceptions must be cleared through the International Student Officer and only if the student has a policy that meets or exceeds the plan benefits provided by Union University.
  3. Each international student is required to submit the Union University Declaration of Finances form and original bank statements showing proof of finances for one academic year (fall and spring semesters) to include tuition, room, board, insurance, books, and miscellaneous expenses.
  4. Students will submit TOEFL score reports of not less than 550 paper-based or 80 internet-based, iTEP (International Test of English Proficiency) score of not less than 3.9, a Duolingo score of not less than 105, or an IELTS score of not less than 6.5 to be considered for full admission. Exceptions to this requirement may be considered for students from a country where the native language is English who present adequate verbal/ English scores on the SAT (530 SAT Evidenced-based Reading and Writing), or ACT (18 English subsection and 22 Reading sub-section) indicating college readiness.
  5. The ACT/SAT(R)/CLT score requirement will normally be waived if the minimum TOEFL, iTEP, or IELTS score requirement has been met.
  6. TOEFL, Duolingo, iTEP, or IELTS requirements will normally be waived for International Students who transfer to Union with at least 24 semester hours of transferable credit (including at least 6 credit hours of English composition or equivalent courses approved by Director of the Center for Intercultural Engagement) and who present evidence of English proficiency by earning a cumulative GPA of at least 2.3 from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States OR who hold a Bachelor's Degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university OR who have completed four years of U.S. high school and meet high school competency requirements and Union University admissions standards.
  7. Students whose native language is not English may be required to participate in an interview with the Director of the Center for Intercultural Engagement. This interview may be conducted either in person or by phone. A placement test may also be required.

Students transferring from another accredited institution of higher learning in the United States will be required to meet the same requirements for admission as all other transfer students.

An I-20 form may be issued only after admission requirements and the above monetary requirements have been satisfied.

As a condition of their admission, each international student will normally be required to enroll as a full-time student in course work tailored for their unique orientation needs to include, but not be limited to: ENG 111, ENG 112, and ICS 105.

Union University, and in particular the Center for Intercultural Engagement, has a long-standing commitment of providing comprehensive support for its third-culture students. As part of this support, ICS 110, Introduction to Intercultural Studies, is a required course for dependents of missionaries and other overseas professionals. These students take ICS 110 during their first semester at Union. This course, an exploration of the theoretical and practical issues related to intercultural engagement, provides a framework for third culture students to navigate complex intercultural terrains. 

In certain situations, exceptions may be granted by the Director of the Center for Intercultural Engagement. International students will be advised by an international student advisor, as well as by an assigned faculty advisor in their major department, during their first year. Both the Senior International Officer and the departmental advisor must be consulted in registration decisions.

For students who have obtained their permanent residency card or official Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) documents, the following requirements must be met:

  1. Submit the Application for Undergraduate Admission with a $35 application fee.
  2. Meet all requirements for regular admission.
  3. Submit a copy of permanent residency card or official DACA documents.

Admission to Special Programs

Union University occasionally partners with institutions and entities with a shared mission for course offerings and reserves the right to make adjustments to both the admission process and the admission requirements based upon formalized agreements and arrangements with these partnering institutions and entities. These may include dual enrollment agreements and special semester 

intensive study programs.

Students may complete a maximum of 24 credit hours through the University’s reduced tuition programs, including dual enrollment, rising high school senior, and home school dual enrollment.

Dual Enrollment

The Union University High School Dual Enrollment program is open to exceptional high school juniors and seniors from partnering institutions who have the ability, motivation, and maturity to begin their college education before high school graduation. Students desiring to enroll in the Union University dual enrollment program must do so through Union University's Office of Undergraduate Admissions and meet the admissions criteria as outlined in the formalized agreement with the partnering institution to include a 3.0 high school GPA OR a 20 ACT Composite, 1030 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or a 63 Classical Learning Test (CLT). 

Home School Dual Enrollment

Outstanding area home schooled students may be admitted to take a maximum of 24 credit hours during their junior and senior years of high school on a space available basis. A personal conference with the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions is required before the student is accepted for admission. A 20 ACT Composite, 1030 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), 63 Classical Learning Test (CLT), or 3.0 high school GPA is required. Students must also submit an official high school transcript.

Rising High School Senior Program

Exceptional high school students, after completing the junior year of high school, may earn college credit by attending the June Term, earning a maximum of seven semester hours. The RHSS Program is designed for selected high school students who completed the junior year with a cumulative 3.0 high school GPA OR a 20 ACT Composite, 1030 SAT (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math), or a 63 Classical Learning Test (CLT).Before being admitted to the program, an applicant must meet the following standards and have the following information on file in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions:

  1. An admissions application and application fee
  2. A high school transcript of five semesters

A fee of $200 per credit hour is charged. Room and board is available at regular rates.

No student may participate in the RHSS Program who does not plan to return to high school for completion of the senior year.

Alternative Categories of Admission

Conditionally Admitted Students

Occasionally students who do not meet minimum criteria may be accepted with conditions. Admittance with Condition, as a degree-seeking student, may be based on a further review of academic course work and grades, standardized test scores, GPA, rank in class, and recommendation from appropriate school, church, and community personnel, and an interview with the Director, Center for Academic Success. Conditions will be detailed in writing from the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions or the Director, Center for Academic Success on behalf of the Undergraduate Admissions and Retention Committee.

Keystone Program

The Keystone Program's goal is to provide a smooth transition from the high school classroom to the college environment by giving our students support and accountability in navigating through the freshman year. Its mission is to encompass and connect the academic achievement, personal strengths, values, goals, and faith for each student. To achieve this mission, the Center for Academic Success will assist in a seamless transition through deliberate and intentional programs outlined in an individualized Keystone Plan. For further information on Keystone, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions or visit www.uu.edu/studentlife/academic-success.

Provisional Students

With limited exceptions, provisional students are enrolled as degree-seeking students. These students do not have immediate access to official documents in order to be fully admitted. Students will be required to submit all outstanding items to complete admission for the provisional status to be changed.

The student will be bound by all general academic requirements imposed upon fully matriculated students so far as prerequisites, quantity and quality of work. All work completed or attempted will be documented on the academic record.

It is the student's responsibility to submit documents required to complete the admission file. A student may remain on provisional status for only one semester and the subsequent short term unless special circumstances exist and an extension is granted by the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions. A personal conference with the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions may be required before the student is accepted for admission on a provisional basis.

Non-Degree Seeking Students

Students may be admitted to take courses for special interest or as a “visiting student” for a maximum of 12 credit hours. Classes may be taken for credit or audit on a space available basis. Students must meet all requirements for admission to change from Non-Degree Seeking to Degree-Seeking status. A personal conference with the Assistant Vice President for Undergraduate Admissions may be required before the student is accepted for admission on this basis. Students admitted as non-degree must reapply each semester/term, and transcripts may be required to verify prerequisite course requirements.

Degree-Seeking Transient Student Status

Students already enrolled as degree-seeking students at other colleges or universities may seek admission to Union University as degree-seeking transient students. This admission status enables students enrolled elsewhere to enroll in courses or programs offered through Union, which may not otherwise be available to them.

The following conditions and requirements apply:

  1. An application for admission and the required application fee must be submitted.
  2. An enrollment verification form, completed by the home institution, which documents the student's degree-seeking status and good standing.
  3. Students will be limited to a maximum of 21 hours at Union University. During enrollment or after completion of the maximum 21 hours, the student who desires to continue enrollment at Union as a degree-seeking student will be required to meet all applicable admission requirements.

Union University accepts no responsibility for the transferability of credit completed by degree-seeking transient students. Degree-seeking transient students are not eligible to receive financial assistance from Union University. Federal and state financial aid may be made available. Students should work closely with financial aid representatives at their home institutions regarding eligibility requirements. Upon the request of the student, Union University will facilitate the sharing of enrollment information to the home school to facilitate financial aid processes.

Advanced Placement and Credit by Examination

Placement tests developed by Union University may be administered in all departments represented in the core curriculum. No credit will be awarded for Union-developed tests; the hours required in the core will be satisfied at a higher level.

Nationally recognized credit by examination programs including the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), Correspondence and Extension credit, International Baccalaureate (IB) and DANTES SST may be accepted. Credit will be awarded for training received in the military service in accordance with recommendations of the American Council on Education (ACE). Other ACE-evaluated programs may be accepted upon review.

Credit awarded by successful completion of CEEB, CLEP, DANTES and IB exams and for ACE-approved training through non-collegiate sponsored education, including but not limited to the military, is assigned semester hours without quality points.

Students may earn one, but not both, required general core natural science classes with credit by testing.  

The General Core for all degrees requires an in-class laboratory science. Therefore, the requirement may not be completely satisfied with credit by testing.

When reviewing credit by testing, please take note of the following:

  1. Union only accepts the tests that are listed in each category.
  2. "Union parallel" refers to the Union course for which credit can be earned.
  3. "Substitute" indicates that while there is no parallel course available, Union is willing to substitute testing credit for the course indicated.
  4. If specific course credit can be awarded, the specific course is indicated in the information provided.
