Will I be accepted to USF?
Admissions Requirements for High School Students (applying fall 2011):
Understanding that excellent performance in high school coursework is both an indicator of preparedness and a predictor of success in college level studies, the University of Sioux Falls expects students to complete a college preparatory high school core curriculum: English (4 units), Math (3 units of Algebra I or above), Lab Science (3 units), and Social Studies (2 units). A Foreign Language (2 units) is also recommended. USF also expects applicants to have achieved a minimum 2.8 high school GPA on a 4.0 scale, accompanied by a composite ACT score of at least 20. Students who do not meet both of these criteria may still be considered for admission. Academic records will be evaluated on the basis of the strength of college preparatory coursework, high school GPA, ACT score, and probability of success at the college level.
Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students (applying fall 2011):
Transfer applicants seeking full admission should have a 2.5 cumulative GPA in college level coursework. Applicants who do not meet this standard will be evaluated on an individual basis.
