The Admissions Committee for the undergraduate programs of La Sierra University examines evidence of scholastic competence, moral and ethical standards, and significant qualities of character and personality of each applicant. Three factors are used in determining academic eligibility for admission. An applicant will academically qualify for regular admission as a first-time freshman if the applicant is a high school graduate, has a qualifiable eligibility index [calculated from grade point average for the specific high school courses and ACT or SAT score results] and has completed, with grades of “C” or better, the required subject requirements.

New Freshmen graduating from a United States High School

The following factors are considered in determining eligibility for admission:

High School Subject Requirements
New Freshmen applicants graduating from a high school in the United States must complete with grades of “C” or better a 15 unit pattern of courses during high school to fulfill the subject requirements in the “A-G” subject areas with an additional unit, up to 4 units “H” for each year of attendance at a Seventh-day Adventist high school. Each unit is equal to a year of study in a subject area. Early admission may be based on work completed through the junior year of high school and indication of courses to be taken during the senior year. Refer to the “A-G” & “H” Subject Requirements.
TEST SCORES

ACT or SAT Critical Reading/English and Math sections will be used for calculating admission eligibility.
ELIGIBILITY INDEX Table

An Eligibility Index table for new freshmen applicants uses the selective GPA [“A-G” high school subject requirements] and the total SAT 1 [Critical Reading + Math] or ACT Composite score to determine academic eligibility. Academic eligibility does not guarantee admission to the University. [Refer to the Eligibility Index Table].
