Admissions Requirements for High School Students:

Faces
The University of Sioux Falls welcomes the application of students prior to completing their senior year of high school. Admission to the University is determined after receiving the necessary paperwork from the student (as listed above) and is evaluated based on achievement of two of the the three following academic credentials:

  • Class rank in upper half or better 
  • 2.5 cumulative grade point average 
  • ACT profile report showing a 
        composite score of 19 or better, 
        or an SAT score of 900 or better

The student is responsible for completion of the application process as outlined on this page and must provide a final transcript showing that he or she has graduated from high school prior to enrollment at the University of Sioux Falls.

Admissions Requirements for Transfer Students:

The University of Sioux Falls welcomes the application of transfer students as well. A student is considered a transfer student if he/she has attended a post-secondary institution after graduation from high school. New students who take summer courses prior to entering college are not considred transfer students.

Transfer students who have been dismissed from a previous institution will not be considred for admission to the University until they have been out of college for at least one fall or spring semester after being dismissed. Any student who has not yet completed 24 s.h. (semester hours) will be admitted on the basis of his/her high school record. Students who have completed at least 24 s.h. and have a minimum transfer grade point average of 2.5 may be fully admitted to the University.

 

What if I don't meet the Admissions Requirements? 

The University of Sioux Falls encourages all interested students to apply for admission. In some cases, students who do not meet the Admissions Requirements outlined above may be granted a conditional acceptance, with the opportunity to receive a full acceptance after the successful completion of one semester.
 

 
What if I previously attended USF? 

Any student who has withdrawn or been academically suspended must complete the Student Reactivate Application and provide official transcripts from all post-secondary instutions attended since leaving USF.
