    • Submission of an SAT or ACT score report is optional and may be reviewed for potential merit or scholarship offerings.
  2. Submit all official final transcripts from each previously attended post-secondary institution.

Official transcripts can also be sent by mail or delivered in person in a sealed envelope from the previous institution.

  4. A final official high school transcript reflecting a date of high school graduation from a standard or honors distinction high school diploma must be sent to the Office of Admissions prior to the end of Reinhardt semester/term add/drop period. Federal, state, and institutional financial aid will not be disbursed without receipt of the final high school transcript.
  5. Home schooled students must submit official transcripts from a home school program. A student who has not graduated from an accredited high school or a home school program is required to submit an official General Equivalency Diploma (GED) passing score.
  6. An applicant who has attended an institution (other than Reinhardt) as a dual enrollment student should submit the official transcript(s) upon application. Once the applicant has completed dual enrollment course work, the final official transcript must be sent to the Office of Admissions prior to the end of Reinhardt semester/term add/drop period.
  7. Applicants who do not meet minimum requirements for admission will be required to submit additional documentation including letters of recommendation and a personal statement regarding educational interest and planning for future educational success. Once completed, the entire file will reviewed by the Admissions Committee
  8. Applicants who have been charged with or convicted of a crime may be asked to provide additional documentation and/or interview with university personnel or administrators.
  9. Upon acceptance, all traditional undergraduate students must pay a $150 tuition deposit to secure enrollment for the term reflected on the application. The amount and the date by which this payment is due will be specified in messaging sent to the student.
  10. In situations where a degree-seeking applicant is unable to submit official transcripts in sufficient time for evaluation before the beginning of the initial term of enrollment, that applicant will be allowed to enroll by submitting a Provisional Enrollment Agreement. A student may only enroll for one term under stipulations of this agreement

Completed applications are reviewed as soon as all required documents are collected. Once a completed application is reviewed and a final admission decision has been determined, a letter is sent notifying the applicant of their admission status. If an applicant is accepted, they will be sent an informal acceptance email for immediate notification. The official acceptance letter is mailed to all students.

Once an applicant has been accepted, students are notified of the next steps in the enrollment process, including registration, through voice and messaging contact. If an applicant does not meet minimum admissions requirements, or is not aligned with admissions policies, applicants might be denied admittance or an appeal process can be enacted by the Office of Admissions, in which case the applicant’s admission might be deemed “deferred status.” All admission appeals will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee comprised of academic and enrollment staff members alongside admissions representatives. Final appeal decisions, if necessary, are made by the Office of the Provost.

Reinhardt University reserves the right to deny any applicant who provided inaccurate information, fails to disclose any and all relevant admissions or enrollment information or makes false statements in any information provided through the application or enrollment processes or documents. This includes disclosure of all previously attended institutions as well as academic or student conduct issues that resulted in the applicant being not in good standing at a previous institution.
