Your Personal Data

The personal data that the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Graduate School collect may be shared internally with academic units, Alumni Affairs and other school officials with a legitimate educational interest. Data may also be shared with third-party partners according to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), with which we have contracted to perform services for the institution.

Optional Information

By federal law, the submission of certain information at the time of application for admission is optional. These items include social security number, ethnicity, date of birth and sex. At Auburn University, this information is used for reporting, record keeping and data validation.

Disciplinary/Criminal History

All applicants for admission to Auburn University are required to disclose on the admission application prior criminal conduct and prior educational misconduct. The University reviews all applications in which a student discloses misconduct at an educational institution and/or prior criminal conduct to determine whether the applicant's admission is in the best interest of the University. Affirmative disclosures do not result in automatic denial of admission.

Incomplete Information

Applicants who fail to provide complete and accurate responses to the conduct section of the admission application may be denied admission, or if already admitted, may have their admission rescinded.

New and returning applications for admission to Auburn University indicating a record of previous misconduct at an educational institution or criminal conduct will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the University’s Disclosure Review Committee.

Applicants will be required to provide additional information to the University for consideration. This information may include, but is not limited to, copies of criminal disposition records, background checks and screenings and educational and disciplinary records. Applicants may also be asked to provide information releases. All information requested from the applicant must be received by the University at least 30 days before the first day of the semester. The committee reviews applicants whose files are complete and meet all other admissions criteria. The University shall make a determination within 45 days of receiving all requested information.

The University may deny an applicant admission if, upon reviewing all available information, it is determined that denying admission or re-admission to the applicant is in the best interest of the University.

Submit your Admission Application.
Pay the $50 non-refundable application fee.
Submit your official high school transcript.
ACT and/or SAT scores submitted directly from the testing agency.
Submit a letter of permission from your high school principal or counselor indicating early graduation.

High School GPA and Curriculum

While the decision is based upon test scores and high school GPA, you also must complete the following course requirements in your high school curriculum:

English - 4 years
Social Studies - 3 years
Mathematics - 3 years
This must include 1 year of Algebra I, 1 year of Algebra II, and one year of Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, or Analysis
Science - 2 years
This must include 1 year of Biology and 1 year of a Physical Science

Transcript evaluation utilizes a 4.0 scale. A weighted GPA is utilized when included in the high school transcript. If you attend a high school whose system does not provide a weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, the high school may include a cover letter with the transcript indicating your weighted GPA.

ACT/SAT

Admission standards are based on the quality of your high school grades as well as your score on either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Auburn University requires that all incoming freshmen provide test scores from either the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). No preference is given for either test, and the highest score will be used for admission purposes. The institution number for the ACT is 0011 and the number for the SAT is 1005.

What ACT or SAT score and grade point average will be required to earn freshman admission?

The answer will depend on the number and quality of students who apply this year. It also depends on our evaluation of each applicant's credentials. In addition, we have to take into account the limited number of places in the Freshman Class. Competition for these spaces will ultimately set the standards.
