Information for high school students applying to EMU:

  • High school students may apply for admission at any time during their senior year.
  • Please submit an official high school transcript and official scores from the ACT or SAT.
  • EMU operates on a rolling admissions basis, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you'll receive a decision from us!
  • Typically, you will be notified of your admission decision within 2-4 weeks after you submit your application materials.

If you have already taken classes at another university, you are a transfer student:

  • If you have taken college classes but have not yet completed a bachelor's degree, please apply to EMU as a transfer student.
  • You will be asked to submit official transcripts from every college or university you ever attended, even if you did not receive credit for your coursework.
  • All transfer students must have a cumulative college grade point average of 2.0 or higher to be considered for admission to EMU.
  • If you have fewer than 12 transferrable credits, you will also need to submit an official high school transcript or GED, and your ACT or SAT scores.
