The goal of UND’s admission standards is to attract students who are likely to succeed in our rigorous academic environment.

Automatic Admission – 24 or more transfer credits: Transfer students with 24 or more transferable credits will be admitted when a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 is achieved. Beyond this general admission, some schools or colleges in the University require higher averages in selected major programs.

Automatic Admission – Less than 24 transfer credits and under 25 yrs old: Beginning in fall of 2005, transfer students with fewer than 24 semester hours of transferable credit and who are under the age of 25 will be automatically admitted when they:

	•	Achieve a satisfactory ACT score of:
		o	North Dakota high school graduates	21 (SAT 990)
		o	Non-ND high school graduates	22 (SAT 1030)
	•	Have a high school cumulative GPA		2.50
	•	Fully meet Core Requirements:
		o	English (4 units), Math (3 units of Algebra I or above), Lab Science (3 units), Social Studies (3 units)

Non-Automatic Admission for Transfers with less than 24 credits and under age of 25: Students are encouraged to apply for admission even if they don’t meet the automatic admission standards and are deficient in only one of the GPA or ACT standards.

Students who are not automatically admitted will be reviewed by a committee. The committee will review all relevant information and extenuating circumstances to make an admission decision that is in the best interest of the student and institution.
