In order to be considered for Early Decision, each applicant must sign and submit the Early Decision Agreement found in the Testament section of the application for admission.

Early Action is for freshman applicants who would like an early answer on their application for admission. Early Action is nonbinding and students may apply to other colleges or universities.

Admissions Policy

High Point University offers admission to prospective applicants on a competitive basis. The most important factors in determining the admission of prospective students are the academic transcript, including grades received and course selection, followed by standardized test scores (SAT or ACT). Other important factors in the admissions decision are demonstrated leadership, extracurricular and community involvement, and special talent. Although it is not required for admission, a campus visit is highly recommended for all students. During your visit, you may schedule a personal interview with a member of the admissions staff.
The recommended course selection for applicants is as follows:

English: 4 units required
Math: 3 units required, 4 units recommended (Algebra I, II and Geometry)
Science: 3 or more units (Lab Sciences are recommended)
Social Studies: 3 or more units
Foreign Language: 2 units of the same language, 3 units recommended

Once all required documents are received, a decision will be made, and the applicant will be notified of a decision by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Affirmative decisions remain provisional, pending receipt of final transcripts. Within thirty days following acceptance, students should post the $500 enrollment deposit. This amount is credited directly toward the account of the student and does not represent an additional charge. The deposit is refundable (except for students accepted under the Early Decision plan) until May 1, after which it is nonrefundable.
