How to Apply

  1. Complete and submit your application for admission and all required supporting documents using one of the online applications listed above.
  2. Take time on your essay. This is your best way to communicate with the Admissions Committee who you are beyond the courses you’ve taken and the activities you’ve been a part of. This is the first thing your Admissions Counselor will review as they try to get to know you. Be sure to make the most of your introduction.
  3. Ask your School or College Counselor to send your official high school transcript to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions or upload through your application or Slate.org.
  4. Ask your guidance or college counselor to complete and submit the Counselor Report form.
  5. Please provide one letter of recommendation from either your counselor or a teacher.
  6. High Point University is test optional. Request that the official results of the SAT or ACT be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. High Point University’s SAT code is 5293; the ACT code is 3108.
    If you would like to be considered for our Presidential Scholarship Program or Honors Scholar Program, an SAT or ACT score is required.
  7. At High Point University, we want to know more about you! As a result, we have partnered with ZeeMee. It is a free app that allows you to upload photos and videos to share more of your story with us. Simply go to ZeeMee.com to get the app on iOS or Android. Once you have added photos and videos that share about your interests and passions with us, copy and paste your ZeeMee link into your High Point University application. We also welcome links to personal web pages or other platforms such at Cirkled In and LifeStream. Please note that submitting a profile link is not a requirement and the evaluation of your admissions application will not be delayed as long as all materials are received by the stated deadlines.

Please note that all deadlines for applications and supporting documents are postmark or electronic submission deadlines.
