Victory University 2012-2013 Academic Catalog

GENERAL ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS AND
STIPULATIONS
FRESHMAN AND FIRST-TIME STUDENT ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
An applicant with less than 12 transferable credit hours is considered a freshman applicant and
must adhere to the following criteria in order to be reviewed for acceptance to Victory
University:
1. Application: An application may be submitted by logging on to the Victory University
website and completing the online application or by submitting a paper application to
Admissions.
2. Final official transcript: An applicant should be a graduate of a regionally accredited or
approved high school. (Note: Victory University refers to high schools approved by the
Tennessee Association for College Registrars and Admissions Officers (TACRAO) and
schools who maintain a category 1, 2, 3 or 4 as determined by the Department of
Education.) Official transcripts may be received by mail directly from the high school to
Victory University’s Admissions Office, or Victory will accept approved electronic
transcripts from institutions participating in Script-Safe. All Script-Safe transcripts must
be sent directly to the Registrar.
An applicant cannot be reviewed for regular admission to Victory University until an
official transcript is received. If any courses have been taken for University credit,
official transcripts from the institution(s) granting the credit must be submitted to the
University as well.
For high school transcripts, at least 14 units should be taken in the areas of English,
foreign language, mathematics, and the social and natural sciences.
Home-schooled applicants can be admitted on the basis of their home school transcript.
The home school must be accredited or affiliated with an accredited institution in order
for its high school transcript to be accepted by Victory University. The decision to
accept transcripts issued by a home school will be determined by the Registrar and the
Director of Admissions. If the home school transcript is not acceptable for admission to
Victory, students will be required to take and pass the General Educational
Development (GED) test. The transcript must be recognized by the state of Tennessee to
receive Title IV funds.
Students who did not graduate from high school or who have graduated from a nonaccredited
or an unapproved high school must provide an official transcript of the
General Educational Development (GED) test. A minimum score of 450 is required for
consideration of admissions.
