Admission of Degree-Seeking Students
First Time Freshmen: Applicants enrolled at the university for the first time and who have not been enrolled in any other college-level institution are classified as first time freshmen and may apply for admission as follows:
- High school graduates must submit an official high school transcript showing date of graduation.
- Home school graduates must submit appropriate documentation that is signed and dated by the person supervising the student’s coursework showing the name of the courses taken, grade and graduation date.
- Students who have completed the General Educational Development (GED) test must submit an official GED certificate.
Individual Approval: Applicants who are not high school graduates may be admitted into pre-collegiate and developmental studies by individual approval. Enrollment in collegiate studies however, is contingent to the student’s completion of the GED certification process within one year of enrollment.
Audit Admission: Applicants seeking to audit classes must submit an application for admission and a nonrefundable $25.00 application fee. A record of the student’s matriculation will be maintained; however, no credit will be awarded. A nonrefundable audit fee is charged in lieu of tuition. Admission is at the discretion of the Admissions Committee.
Transfer Students: Students in good standing at accredited institutions or who have completed credit courses at the college level may apply for admission. Credit will be awarded for prior coursework in accordance with the following: - General admission requirements are met
- Grade point average (GPA) of at least “C” (2.0 on 4.0-scale). Credit for courses equivalent to those listed in the Catalog may be accepted from accredited institutions. A minimum of 36 semester hours (18 hours in the major) for the Bachelor of Arts Degree and 15 semester hours for the Associate of Arts Degree must be taken in residence (on campus) before an award will be made by the university.
- The Admissions Office and the Registrar’s Office will determine the hours and grade points acceptable for transfer credit. Development and remediation coursework will not be credited toward award requirements.
Readmission: Former students seeking to re-enroll at the university after an absence of one year or more but less than five years must submit an Application for Admission and official transcripts from all institutions attended since last enrolled at the university. After an absence of five years or more, former students must reapply for admission as a new student. No application fee is required. Application of students not in good standing at the last institution attended, or on academic probation or suspension at the University must be approved by the Admissions Committee.
Probationary Admission: Students placed on disciplinary suspension by other institutions will not be admitted. Students placed on academic suspension may request consideration for admission by the Admissions Committee. Students on academic suspension who are admitted will be placed on academic probation. Any student falsifying information for the purpose of admission to the university is subject to disciplinary action and dismissal.
Provisional Acceptance: Provisional acceptance applies to those applicants who have not been reviewed by the Admissions Committee but were notified of their provisional acceptance by the Admissions Office pending receipt of all required admissions documents. Upon completion of admissions requirements application will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee and a formal acceptance letter will be sent and the provisional acceptance will be lifted.
Degree-Specific Requirements: The candidates for the different degree programs (Biblical/Theological Studies, Cross-Cultural Business Leadership, and Spanish) should meet all course and other requirements for that degree and for graduation. Each student is responsible for all requirements as stated and careful attention to the program will result in completion of the requirements for graduation in the minimum time.
Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible to resolve admission matters well in advance of the start of the semester. Suggested deadlines for applications are as follows:
For the fall semester – August 1 For the spring semester – December 1
Admission of Non-Degree Students
Applicants who are interested in taking courses at BUA but do not want to seek a degree may be admitted as special, non-degree students. If a non-degree student decides to enroll in a degree program, the student must apply for regular admission and provide the appropriate documentation for review for potential admission as a degree seeking student.
