Students applying for admission to Bethel College will submit:
1. An application for admission and the application fee of $30.00.
2. Official high school and college transcripts from each college attended.
A high school equivalency diploma (GED) may be accepted in lieu of a high school diploma. A Special Education diploma or high school certificate is not acceptable. Students may be accepted on a partial high school transcript, but a complete high school transcript validating graduation must be on file before registration. Graduates from a non-accredited high school must meet one of the following:
20 ACT/940 SAT and 2.0 cumulative GPA
19 ACT/900 SAT and 2.5 cumulative GPA
18 ACT/860 SAT and 3.0 cumulative GPA
a passing GED score is considered to be a 2.0 GPA.
Applicants not meeting any of the above standards will be reviewed by the Director of Admissions who may grant special admission after considering test scores, grades, rank in class, school and community activities, and recommendations in its review.
The Registrar will evaluate college transcripts for determination of transfer credit to be accepted. Transfer course work must have been completed at an institution accredited as degree-granting by a regional accrediting body for higher education. Any exceptions to this policy will be made by the Registrar or Academic Dean.
3. An official copy of ACT or SAT scores. These scores are not required for students who have been out of high school three years or more.
4. International students must submit proof of equivalent high school graduation and/or college attendance through official transcripts. If the transcripts are not in English or if the student has attended an international college, the student is responsible for obtaining a translation/evaluation through an approved evaluation service. All foreign students must meet admission requirements for entering freshmen or transfer students. International students should contact the Admission Office for information regarding I-20 Forms. |
