Williams Baptist University welcomes applications from persons seeking a Christian education with high academic standards.
The admission decision is based on academic records and scores on standardized tests (ACT/SAT/CLT). The University seeks to determine, on the basis of the candidate’s academic record, character, purpose, and aptitude, whether he or she is compatible with the purposes of the institution and demonstrates potential to benefit from one of its programs. However, Williams reserves the right to restrict or deny admission to any applicant who is considered not to be an appropriate admissions candidate as determined by its officers. These admissions decisions will be made in a manner consistent with state and federal non-discrimination laws.
Like all colleges and universities, WBU has specific admission criteria, but you’re much more than a high school transcript.
Williams invites applications from qualified students who have graduated or expect to graduate from an accredited secondary school. Students who apply as regular freshman enrollees must have graduated from an accredited U. S. high school or have satisfactorily completed the General Education Development examination (GED). Students who were educated at home are also invited to apply and are subject to the same qualifications and requirements. A tour of the campus and information on financial aid will be available. The following must be submitted by all freshman applicants:
A transfer student is defined as one who has been out of high school for at least one full semester and has attempted some college or university work for credit. Students with transfer credit who apply to Williams must submit the following:
A Graduate Student must meet the following requirements:
Students previously enrolled and in good academic standing in a degree program who wish to re-enter Williams after absence of a full fall or spring semester are required to submit an application for re-admission. An application fee is not required; however, all students applying for re-admission to the University must not have an outstanding financial obligation to Williams Baptist University and must be current on all student loans. Official transcripts from each college or university attended since the last enrollment at Williams must be submitted. Any student who has been out of Williams for five years or more must resubmit transcripts of college/university work completed prior to attendance at Williams. If re-admission is granted, the students are expected to fulfill the degree requirements of the catalog under which they are re-admitted.
Applicants with an ACT score less than 17, or a high school GPA less than 2.25 will be denied admission.
Being denied admission isn’t necessarily a permanent status! If you’re denied, then…
If you still do not meet both criteria upon graduating high school, then your admissions counselor will provide you with additional opportunities to try to get accepted… such as taking the ACT residual test or going through the appeal process. (we usually wait until the Spring semester before we explore these options)
