The Undergraduate Admission Process

Wilmington University honors an open admissions policy and welcomes applications from all interested potential students. The University seeks a diversified student body and encourages the submission of applications from students of widely differing backgrounds, aptitudes, and interests, including career-minded adults who wish to upgrade their skills or complete a degree program.

• Undergraduate applicants must be graduates of an accredited high school or have successfully completed a General Education Development (GED) program.

• SAT I scores are taken into consideration, but they are not required for admission to the University.
• Mathematics and English placement evaluations can be taken at a convenient time, preferably before registering for classes. (Students who score a 450 or above on either section of the SAT’s are exempt from placement testing in that area).
• Applications are reviewed and accepted on a continuous basis. Freshmen are admitted for the fall, spring and summer sessions.
• You may obtain an application packet by mail, phone, or in person from the Admissions office, or at any University location throughout the state.
• You may submit an application online.

All freshmen applicants must submit the following materials:

• Completed application for admission.
• $30.00 application fee.
• Complete, official high school transcripts* (an official GED score is an appropriate substitute).
• Certain students may need to submit their health/immunization records.

Official transcripts must be sent in a sealed envelope directly from the school of attendance. A final admission decision is made after all application requirements have been met. The University uses a rolling admission system and applicants are generally notified of their status within two weeks of the receipt of all materials.

Applications and supporting documentation should be on file in the Admissions Office prior to the start of the desired session. Late applications will be processed as quickly as possible, on a space-available basis. Supporting documentation must be received in the Admissions/Site Office prior to the end of the first semester of enrollment. Inactive applications and supporting documents are kept on file for one year. According to applicable federal and state laws and regulations, all filed materials become the property and confidential records of the University and cannot be returned to the student.

Readmission

A student who discontinues study in any program for 12 months or more is required to reapply and pay a new application fee. The student must meet all of the admission and program requirements in effect on the date of readmission. A student will not be able to register until the readmission process is completed.

Health History/Immunization Records

In compliance with Delaware state law, Wilmington University adheres to policies regarding health and immunization records which require full-time undergraduate students born after January 1, 1957, and all education and nursing students, regardless of date-of-birth and attendance status, to submit their health/immunization records to the Admissions Office. Part-time students who are not majoring in education or nursing are not required to submit their health/immunization records.
