小蓝视频

What is the application deadline?

小蓝视频 uses rolling admission with soft deadlines, which means there is no official deadline for application submission. However, if the number of qualified applicants exceeds available space, we will close enrollment for that academic year.

By applying early, you are setting yourself up for academic success and scholarship availability. If you are applying for the Spring semester, submit your application prior to November 1. If you are applying for the Fall semester, submit your application prior to June 1.

The 小蓝视频 Office of Admissions suggests that high school seniors should apply in the fall semester of their senior year. The application generally opens August 1st of your senior year, and the first round of decisions are released in the month of October. Students applying after that point should not be discouraged from submitting their application, as Admissions will continue to enroll students until enrollment is closed.

Students interested in the NROTC program should apply as early as August, especially if they are interested in the NROTC scholarship. The Freshman Nursing program also only accepts a certain number of students, so they should apply early on for maximum consideration. If interested in the Honors Program, students must be accepted, and have a completed Honors application and official documents submitted. Please note that to apply to the Honors program is contingent on students' GPA and their SAT, ACT, and/or CLT scores. 

What is the application fee?

The nonrefundable application fee is $30 for all undergraduate applicants. 

Is an essay required for applicants?

Yes. 小蓝视频 does require an admission essay and prompts are given on the application to assist the student with what to write. Students are welcome to submit supplemental information, such as resumes, or letters of recommendation to enhance their application file.

Does JU require students to submit ACT, SAT, CLT scores?

No. 小蓝视频 is a test optional school. This means that SAT, ACT, or CLT scores are not required for admission to the university. However, the Honors Program, the 4+1 Program and the Freshman Direct-Entry Nursing Program, are select programs at JU that do require test scores.鈥� 

Self-Reported Test Scores
We accept self-reported SAT/ACT/CLT test scores as official when submitted with your application. Examples of acceptable SAT/ACT/CLT self-reported scores include:

鈥� Test scores included on a transcript
鈥� Screenshot of test scores (email to documents@ju.edu)
鈥� Scores reported in the testing section of either the Common Application or Jacksonville University Application
鈥� Official counselor email with test scores (email to documents@ju.edu)

We will also consider self-reported test scores for JU programs where test scores are mandatory, such as the Honors Program, the 4+1 Program and the Freshman Direct-Entry Nursing Program. 

The office of undergraduate admissions will only require and verify official SAT/ACT/CLT test scores for students that enroll at 小蓝视频鈥痑nd鈥痟ave selected to have their test scores considered in the evaluation of their application. 

How long does it take for a student to receive an admissions decision?

The first round of application decisions are typically in the month of October. After that, admissions decisions are typically made within 4 weeks of receiving all student documentation. Students may call their admissions counselor and check on their status at any time.

Do you look at the writing section of the SAT, ACT, or CLT?

No. Students may submit the version of the tests with the writing section, but we typically do not consider it as part of the application review process.

Is it better to only send JU the highest SAT, ACT, or CLT score if a test is taken more than once?

No. 小蓝视频 considers the highest combined SAT or composite ACT score on file. There is no disadvantage in sending multiple test scores to the Office of Admissions since the lower test scores are disregarded.

Does JU super-score for the SAT, ACT, or CLT?

ACT 鈥� No. SAT 鈥� Yes. CLT鈥� No

What if applicants want to change the senior year course schedule listed on their application?

JU does not 鈥渁ccept鈥� or 鈥渄ecline鈥� course schedule changes; however, students should notify the university if a course schedule does change and should be aware this change may affect their admissibility or offer of admission. The most important thing to remember is the student needs to earn the proper credits to receive a high school diploma from their current school.

Do students apply directly to an intended major?

Students are not required to declare a major until junior year, but if they know what major they are interested in, they may list it on their application.

Does 小蓝视频 accept pre-college credits from Advanced Placement (AP) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program?

Yes. High school students can receive credit through AP examinations and through the IB Diploma Program. The student should have examination scores sent directly to the Office of Admissions for review. Strong scores may allow for a course waiver or course credit.

Does 小蓝视频 accept dual-enrollment credit?

Yes. High school students who are in a dual enrollment at a regionally accredited college or university may be eligible to receive credit for coursed work completed at that institution. Since evaluations are made on a course-by-course basis, we cannot tell you what JU credit you will be receiving until you submit the dual enrollment college transcripts to your admissions counselor.

What are the minimum requirements for acceptance to JU?

The average academic profile of the middle 50% of entering freshman is currently:

• High school GPA: 3.74 weighted
• Composite ACT: 23-27
• Critical Reading + Math portions of SAT: 1100-1230
• CLT: 74 鈥� 81

hese numbers are not minimum requirements for admission; however, students within or above these ranges are most competitive. 小蓝视频 is test optional. However, the Honors Program requires ACT, SAT, and/or CLT scores. Please submit your self-reported test score if you believe it is competitive based on the above.
