Cairn University Undergraduate Admission & Requirements

General Requirements for First-Time Students:

Application: Complete the Undergraduate Application for Admission along with the $25* non-refundable fee.
Essay: Submit the personal testimony of trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior, and how that has impacted your life and made you excited to study at a place like Cairn University (500 word minimum).
Test Scores: Cairn University is “test-optional.”
- While “test scores” are not required for acceptance, students who believe their SAT/ACT/CLT scores represent a strong, positive component of their academic portfolio may still submit them as a core element of their application package.
- Students can submit official academic transcript(s) and SAT, ACT, or CLT scores (accepted only for non-Education majors).
- Use Cairn code #2661 for SAT and #3658 for ACT.
- Email scores to [email protected].

Visual Arts programs: Graphic Design, Studio Art, Pre-Art Therapy, and Community Art require a portfolio.

Additional Requirements for First-Time Home Schooled Students:

Submit a signed transcript of subjects studied, as well as grades and a cumulative grade point average. If the transcript does not include grades, include an explanation of the method of evaluation.
Send an official copy of your transcript, with the graduation date. It is best to also include an independent evaluation of academic progress by a qualified educator.
Send proof of graduation at the completion of senior year unless GED scores and GED diploma are submitted. Home-school high school diplomas issued by the student’s parents are acceptable proof of high school completion.

Additional Requirements for GED Applicants:

An official transcript of completed secondary school work.
A copy of the GED diploma.
An official statement of the test scores: GED scores must be 2400 for a standard score total, with a minimum average of 480. GED students who have been out of school for at least 7 years DON’T require SAT or ACT scores.

Additional Requirements for Applications Eligible for Early Admission:

Students with outstanding abilities and academic records may be eligible for admission during their senior year of high school.

The application should be submitted at the end of your junior year of high school. Acceptance is determined based on a strong three-year high school academic record, as well as junior year test scores.
A written statement of the reasons for pursuing early entrance.
A written recommendation from a high school guidance counselor or administrator, including an assessment of the applicant’s social and emotional maturity, as well as assurance that the high school diploma will be granted upon satisfactory completion of the student’s freshman year at Cairn.
A written statement of endorsement from the applicant’s parent(s) or guardian(s).
