In keeping with the Quaker tradition of individual worth, William Penn University considers each applicant in the light of individual potential to benefit from a William Penn education.

Entrance requirements for admission include graduation from an accredited secondary school, a 2.0 high school grade point average (GPA) or higher (2.5 recommended), and a composite score of 18 on the ACT or equivalent SAT score. Exceptions are made only by the Admissions and Financial Aid Committee.

Students who wish to be considered for admission should forward the following items to the Admissions Office:

• Completed application form with $20.00 application fee.
• High school transcript or GED results.
• ACT or SAT scores from an official source. Either the ACT or SAT is acceptable, and each student should arrange to take one of these as early as possible, preferably in the junior year or early in the senior year of high school.

TRANSFER STUDENTS – Students who wish to transfer from another college or university should supply a transcript from each institution attended in addition to the items listed above. A high school transcript is not required for students who have successfully completed at least one year of college work.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS – A TOEFL test score of 500 or above is required for all non-native English speakers. English proficiency evaluation will be made upon arrival at William Penn University. Official transcripts from each institution attended are also required.

An international student application is required with a $50.00 application fee and statement of financial support.

ACCEPTANCE - The admission decision is made on each applicant as soon as all materials are received. Following notification of acceptance, the applicant is requested to confirm the intention to enroll by submission of a $50 tuition deposit. This deposit is applied toward the student’s tuition upon enrollment. In the event of notification in writing of withdrawal prior to May 1 (or January 1 for second semester), the deposit will be refunded in full.
