**Attention!**
 
**For admission consideration to WSSU, all applicants under 24 years-of-age who have not earned an Associate of Arts degree or Associate of Science degree, must submit SAT and/or ACT test scores which include writing scores to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.**
 
In selecting the freshman class, decisions are based upon the candidate's academic record, scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test of the College Entrance Examination Board (or the American College Test of the American College Testing Service), and other information received concerning the promise of the candidate. The admissions criteria are the same for public and private school applicants. It is possible for graduates of non-accredited high schools and holders of high school equivalency certificates to be given individual consideration for admission. Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to any academic program. Applicants are notified of action taken on their applications as soon as possible. However, final action cannot be taken until all required information is in the Admissions Office.

Academic Requirements - An official transcript showing graduation from an accredited high school or a transcript showing that the applicant is scheduled for graduation during the current scholastic year is required. The transcript should include the courses which the applicant has completed and those in which the applicant is enrolled, the number of weeks given each subject, the number of recitation periods per week, the length of each recitation, the grade in each course and the scholastic standing of the student in his/her class. The transcript must be signed by the school official authorized to sign such records. All transcripts received by the university become the property of the university, and are filed among its records. Transcripts cannot be forwarded or returned to the applicant. NOTE: Any student who supplies false or misleading information or who conceals pertinent facts in order to enroll at Winston-Salem State University will be subject to immediate dismissal from the university. Students who do not meet minimum admission requirements for the year that they graduate from high school must transfer at least 30 or more semester hours; 6 SH in English, 6 SH in math, 6 SH in science, 6 SH in social sciences, and 6 SH in foreign language. The university does not publish a minimum or cutoff score for SAT, ACT or high school GPA.
