Full Admission for Freshmen
Admission to SNU is based on several factors. Most importantly, the applicant is expected to indicate
agreement with the standards of SNU. If the applicant is a graduate of an accredited high school,
admission will be granted on the basis of the student's ACT (or SAT) score and high school GPA in
college preparatory courses.
Full admission to SNU requires the student to have an ACT composite score
of 19 or above. Those with an ACT composite score of 18 will be fully admitted only if they have no
grades lower than "B" in designated college preparatory courses. For SAT test score equivalencies,
please contact the SNU Office of the Registrar at (405) 491-6386.
Transfer Full Admission
For those transferring from a regionally accredited institution, full admission requires that the student
provide evidence of having made satisfactory progress at the colleges/universities previously attended,
on the basis of the following indicators:
• The grade point average for the last semester in which the student was enrolled was above 1.50.
• The cumulative GPA for all college work attempted by the student is 2.00 or above.
If the above criteria are not met, the transferring student may be admitted provisionally.
Provisional Admission
Provisional admission may be granted to those who have a composite ACT of 18 or below. Those
entering provisionally are required to enroll in a specific block of courses as a part of the program of
study including the course sequence entitled University Study Strategies (G S 0113), Critical Thinking
Strategies (G S 1213) and Reading Strategies (G S 0123).
The program of study for such students requires completion of more than 124 credit hours. Provisionally admitted students are also placed on academic probation upon admission. This allows SNU to monitor academic progress carefully and to assure that appropriate support services can be provided to assist in academic success. Appeals of provisional admission status must be submitted in writing by the petitioning applicant to the Academic Center for Excellence.
