Freshman Applicants

Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University will consider for admission the total high school record: rigor of courses completed, grades, test scores, educational objectives, school leadership and experiences in and out of the classroom. Admission is based on a review of the high school record and official standardized test scores. The requirements for consideration are a minimum 2.5 high school grade point average or a minimum GED score of 500. A student entering Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University as a freshman must have completed the basic TOPS Core Curriculum with a minimum 2.5 GPA computed on core courses only.
 

Test Optional: Students applying with less than a 20ACT or 950 SAT may choose to apply test optional. Students applying as test optional would be considered for admission based on high school GPA and TOPS GPA only. Standardized test scores would not need to be sent for admission consideration.

  • ACT Math sub-score 18 or higher
