  Admission, Costs & 蝌蚪窝视频

  As a comprehensive urban institution, University of 蝌蚪窝视频 enrolls students of all ages in daytime, evening, and weekend classes.

  Admission criteria differs depending on the educational goal at 蝌蚪窝视频 and whether or not an applicant has had previous college experience. Students will be reviewed as either a "freshman" (no post-secondary college experience), "transfer" (previous enrollment at a community college or four-year institution), "international" (non U.S. residents), or "post-degree" (for students who hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university). Students enrolled at other colleges who wish to take 蝌蚪窝视频 courses and transfer them back to their regular institution enroll as "guest" students.

  蝌蚪窝视频 is a "moderately selective" university according to most college guides. This means that freshmen who are "above average" in their high school record and SAT or ACT score will be offered admission. Transfer and post-degree student admission is based primarily on an applicant’s record in previous college courses. An applicant's record must demonstrate a strong probability of successfully completing the academic program to which the student is applying. For all students, the admission committee pays special attention to achievement in courses which relate closely to the intended area of study at 蝌蚪窝视频. Details for each area are provided below.

  Students over the age of 22, who have not previously attended college, must submit a high school transcript and may be asked to submit traditional freshman college entrance exam scores and/or asked to complete academic placement exams as part of the admission process. This is to ensure students begin college work in appropriate courses.

  蝌蚪窝视频 is committed to equal educational opportunity in admission regardless of age, sex, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, handicap, military service, height, weight, marital status, or political belief. 蝌蚪窝视频 reserves the right to review individual circumstances of applicants who have been convicted of criminal offenses.

  A visit to campus is highly recommended. Visitors have an opportunity to discuss their academic plans with an admissions counselor and often are able to meet with 蝌蚪窝视频 faculty and students in the program they would like to enter. As a result, people who visit often have a much better idea of whether or not 蝌蚪窝视频 is the best place for them. For more information or to schedule a campus tour contact the Office of Admissions at or 313-993-1245.

  Freshman Admission

  Freshman Admission

  Application Deadlines

  Students can apply for admission using the application found on the University of 蝌蚪窝视频 website or through The Common Application. Below are the application deadlines and admission plan options for each semester, though program-specific deadlines may apply.

  Fall Semester
  November 1 - Early Action 
  December 1 - Scholarship Priority 
  March 1 - Regular/Rolling

  Winter Semester
  October 1 - Regular/Rolling

  Spring/Summer Semester
  April 1 - Regular/Rolling

  Early Action is a non-binding plan that gives applicants an early admission decision. The Regular/Rolling plan means applications are reviewed and decisions are released as they are received. Those who apply by the Scholarship Priority deadline are considered first in the scholarship review process.

  Applicants must submit an official high school transcript, a letter of recommendation from a high school guidance counselor or teacher and a writing sample of at least 250 words on a topic of their choice. For most programs, submitting an SAT or ACT score is optional. Additional program-specific material requirements may apply.

  Notification of Acceptance

  Upon completing the application, students who applied with the Early Action admission plan are notified of their decision by December 1 and those who applied with the Regular Admission plan are notified of their decision within a reasonable timeframe on a rolling basis. Program exceptions may apply.

  Enrollment Deposit

  Accepted students are required to submit an enrollment deposit to guarantee their space in the freshman class. The enrollment deposit secures scholarships, on-campus housing (if living on campus) and is credited toward first semester tuition and fees.

  Recommended High School Preparation

  High school graduates should complete a college preparatory program with a minimum of 16 units of credit. The recommended minimum distribution of these units includes: four units of college preparatory English, three units of mathematics, two units of history and/or social studies, two units of natural science including a laboratory course and study in speech, foreign language, music, art or other college prep subjects. For engineering, science and pre-health programs, four units of mathematics, one unit of chemistry and one unit of physics are strongly recommended. Nursing applicants should have one unit each of chemistry, biology and algebra. In making an admission decision, the overall strength of the high school courses completed is important. Applicants who have completed advanced placement, international baccalaureate and honors courses, for instance, are recognized for the special effort they have made to complete the strongest possible college preparatory program while in high school.

  Test-Optional

  For most programs, applicants have the choice to submit standardized test scores as part of the application process. The admission committee will conduct a review of each applicant’s full high school record for academic achievement over time. Other application materials will be used to determine qualities like motivation, leadership, community engagement and commitment to social justice.

  SAT or ACT Scores

  Students who choose to submit standardized test scores or are applying to a program that requires a test score as part of the application process can submit results from either the SAT or ACT. No preference is given to either test. If multiple tests were taken, it is suggested that students send in results from all tests. The highest score will be used for admission. For faster processing, students should have their results sent directly from the testing agency by listing 蝌蚪窝视频 as a score recipient when the test is taken. The 蝌蚪窝视频 code number for the SAT is 1835 and the code for the ACT is 2060.

  General Educational Development (GED)

  Students with a GED certificate are eligible for admission to the University. For general admission, applicants are required to have at least 510 on each of the five GED tests and an average standard score of at least 550 for tests taken prior to January 1, 2014. Those seeking admission to more competitive programs may need to present higher test results. Students who fall below the minimum requirements may be eligible for conditional admission and asked to complete additional admission requirements and/or submit additional application materials. Applicants who took the GED tests after January 1, 2014 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

  Advanced Placement (AP) Program

  The University participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program, a service of the College Board. Students who choose to take an AP exam and receive a grade of three or higher may obtain college credit and advanced standing (in most cases). Students planning to attend 蝌蚪窝视频 should request that the results of the examination be sent to University of 蝌蚪窝视频 at the time of testing. Information on specific 蝌蚪窝视频 course equivalences for AP examinations is available online and in this catalog.

  The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme

  The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme focuses on three core requirements including extended essay, theory of knowledge and creativity, action and service. Freshmen with successful results may obtain college credit and advanced standing (in most cases). For more information, refer to the IB section in this catalog.

  Home Schooled Applicants

  University of 蝌蚪窝视频 welcomes students who are home schooled to apply for admission. Home schooled applicants are required to submit documentation of academic progress from their affiliated home schooling agency, local school district or State Department of Education. Once the admission application has been received, the Office of Admissions may contact the applicant to request additional information such as, but not limited to, portfolios, essays or writing samples and grading scale information.

  Dual Enrollment Program

  Dual Enrollment Program

  The Dual Enrollment Program enables a current high school student to supplement high school coursework, which would not otherwise be available, with university-level courses while completing high school graduation requirements. Students are expected to continue working toward completing high school graduation requirements.

  Admission Requirements

  1) Applicants must either be a junior or senior in high school.

  2) Seniors are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.25. Juniors are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5. In instances where the University has made arrangements for the enrollment of specific high school student cohorts, the agreed upon grade point averages will be honored.

  3) Students must demonstrate satisfactory completion of any course prerequisite(s) through processes available to 蝌蚪窝视频 students e.g., CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Exam; Advanced Placement Exam; International Baccalaureate Credit; or successful completion of a 蝌蚪窝视频-accepted equivalent course at another college or university.

  4) A 蝌蚪窝视频 placement exam, to determine a student's preparedness for a 蝌蚪窝视频 course or courses, may also be required.

  Applying for Admission

  To apply for The Dual Enrollment Program, students must submit an application for dual enrollment, a High School Assessment Form signed by a high school guidance counselor or school official and a Parental Consent Form. Forms should be uploaded to the applicant's admission portal.

  Home Schooled Applicants

  The Assessment Form for such students may be completed by a high school guidance counselor or school official. If needed, a parent's signature can be a substitute. If a student's parent signs the form, a copy of the student's home-schooled transcript must also be included.

  Application Deadlines

  While 蝌蚪窝视频 offers rolling admission, the Office of Admissions recommends that students apply for admission for the Fall Semester by July 1, the Winter Semester by October 1 and the Summer Semester by March 1.

  Registering for Classes

  Once accepted for admission, a dual enrolled student will work closely with an admissions counselor and, to ensure proper course selection, an academic advisor. For a preview of available classes, a student can view the online class schedule. Registration for classes will be coordinated between the student and his/her academic advisor. Please note that not all 蝌蚪窝视频 courses are necessarily appropriate for dual enrollment.

  Number of Enrolled Courses

  If accepted, a student may enroll in a maximum of two (2) courses each term and may complete up to eight (8) courses.

  Eligibility for Continuing Enrollment

  A student enrolled in The Dual Enrollment Program must earn a grade of C or higher in the course(s) at 蝌蚪窝视频 to be eligible to register for course(s) in the next term, unless the student plans to retake the same course(s). Any student that earns a grade of C or lower will be contacted by the associate dean or designated representative of the school or college in which the course is taught in order to discuss academic progress.

  Student Rights and Responsibilities

  During the semester in which a high school student is dual enrolled at 蝌蚪窝视频, he/she has the same rights and responsibilities as any other enrolled 蝌蚪窝视频 student, including, but not limited to, academic standards and progress and academic integrity. Refer to the Student Handbook for additional information. 

  Tuition and Fees

  Tuition for dual enrollment students is $155 per credit hour. Some courses may have a course fee above and beyond tuition. If a student is eligible for tuition and fee support through the State or school district, the University will bill the State or school district for the costs associated with the eligible course(s). If the course is not eligible for State or school district support, charges will be billed to the student/parent or guardian (for students under the age of 18). Dual enrolled students do not qualify for financial aid; however, some colleges/schools within 蝌蚪窝视频 may have scholarships available. The admissions counselor will provide that information to those students who are eligible.

  Questions during the application or registration process can be directed to the Office of Admissions at 313-993-1245 or admissions@udmercy.edu.

  Transfer Admission

  Transfer Admission

  蝌蚪窝视频 welcomes applications from students who began their studies at community colleges or other four-year institutions. Students who enroll for college courses in the summer semester immediately following high school graduation are considered first time students for the Fall and should apply as a freshman. 

  Admission counselors will provide assistance to students who are interested in transferring to 蝌蚪窝视频. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 in previous college work is generally considered the minimum acceptable for admission, though it does not guarantee admission. Many academic departments require a higher performance level of a cumulative GPA of 2.50. Individual academic programs may also require successful completion of specific courses (prerequisites) prior to admission. In some cases, prerequisites may be taken at 蝌蚪窝视频.

  Recommended Preparation Before Transferring

  University of 蝌蚪窝视频 participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). Transfer students are strongly encouraged to complete MTA, allowing students transferring from a community college to make the most of their general education classes, saving time and money. With the MTA endorsement, students will have their Core Knowledge Areas met.  Core Integrating Themes need to be taken, but in some cases, Integrating Themes are met with specific program requirements.  

  Students planning to transfer from community colleges without MTA should should fulfill 蝌蚪窝视频 core requirements and the requirements of the college, school or program in which they intend to enroll. Transfer Guides, which list transferable core courses for many Michigan community colleges, are available on our website. 蝌蚪窝视频's Core Curriculum, which is required of all undergraduates, may be found in the "Schools and Colleges" section with specific requirements of each college and school. Students should plan to take math and English placement exams if courses have not been taken at a prior institution. If you have questions regarding transfer credit, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@udmercy.edu or 313-993-1245.

  Community College Articulation Agreements

  Community colleges in the Detroit metropolitan area have designated liaison counselors to provide assistance to those students planning to enroll at 蝌蚪窝视频. These individuals are well qualified to provide guidance to students on 蝌蚪窝视频 program requirements.

  蝌蚪窝视频 has a number of "2 + 2" and "articulation agreements" with community colleges and other four-year institutions. Students enrolled in programs covered by such an agreement complete designated courses at their institution and are then assured of the transferability of all designated credits earned. Information on current agreements may be obtained from your community college counseling office or the 蝌蚪窝视频 Office of Admissions.

  High School Transcripts 

  High school transcripts are not required for admission for students who have earned more than 24 semester hours at another accredited institution; however, they are required to receive financial aid. The federal government requires proof of high school graduation before disbursing federal funds. Since they are not required for admission, they will not have a positive or negative effect on admission review or the awarding of transfer grants/scholarships. 

  High School transcripts are required for an admission review of transfer students who have earned less than 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of credit at another accredited institution. 

  Transcripts and Transfer of Credit

  Transfer applicants must have official transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions from each institution previously attended, even if they do not intend to transfer credit. 

  Transcripts are evaluated and credit is granted for work satisfactorily completed at another, regionally-accredited institution if the work is equivalent in character and content to 蝌蚪窝视频 courses. Only courses completed with a grade of "C" or better are considered for credit.

  蝌蚪窝视频 accepts a maximum of 63 semester hours of credit transferred from a community college or 96 semester hours transferred from a four-year institution. In some cases, articulation or 2 + 2 agreements may specifically permit a limited number of credits in excess of the 63-credit maximum. If you have questions regarding transfer credit, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@udmercy.edu or 313-993-1245.

  High school or college transcripts sent to 蝌蚪窝视频 for admission and/or transfer of credit evaluation are not reissued back to the student. Once accepted, these documents can be viewed as part of your academic file.

  General Educational Development (GED)

  Students with a GED certificate are eligible for admission to the University. For general admission, students are required to have at least 510 on each of the five GED tests and an average standard score of at least 550 for tests taken prior to January 1, 2014. Students seeking admission to more competitive programs may need to present higher test results. Students who fall below the general requirements may be considered for conditional admission. Students under consideration for conditional admission may be asked to complete additional admission requirements and/or submit additional application materials. Applicants who took the GED tests after January 1, 2014 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

  Transfer applicants who have a GED certificate and are seeking general admission to 蝌蚪窝视频 must have at least 12 transferable credits taken within the last seven years with at least a 2.0 GPA. Some programs may require a higher GPA. Students with a GPA below 2.0 may be considered for conditional admission.

  F-1 students transferring from a U.S. school to University of 蝌蚪窝视频 must be admitted before requesting a SEVIS record transfer. Students should notify the 蝌蚪窝视频 Admissions Office of their intention to transfer by requesting a letter of admission and a Certification of F-1 Status form. These documents should be sent to the foreign student advisor at their current school to release their I-20 to 蝌蚪窝视频.

Students planning to travel outside the U.S. before enrollment must obtain a 蝌蚪窝视频 I-20 before departure and present it at the U.S. port of entry upon return.

  For additional information about immigration, refer to the U.S. Department of State website.

  English Proficiency

  While English proficiency is not required for admission to most programs, students must demonstrate an adequate skill level before the start of classes. Proficiency can be proven in several ways: citizenship of a country where English is the official language; completion of an undergraduate or graduate degree at a college or university in the U.S. or in a country where English is the official language and the language of instruction in higher education; a TOEFL internet-based test score total of 81+; a TOEFL paper-based test score total of 550+; an IELTS overall band score of 6.5+; a Duolingo English test score of 105+; or a competitive SAT/ACT score (freshman applicants only).

  Rights and Responsibilities in the College Admissions Process

  Rights and Responsibilities in the College Admissions Process

  蝌蚪窝视频 subscribes to the principles of good practice of the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC). According to these principles, applicants for admission have the right:

  1. to full information from colleges and universities concerning their admission and financial policies. Prior to applying, applicants should be fully informed of policies and procedures concerning application fees, deposits, refunds, housing and financial aid.
  2. to wait to respond to an offer of admission and/or financial aid until having heard from all colleges and universities to which they have applied, or until May 1, whichever is earlier. This means that no college should require a non-refundable enrollment deposit before May 1. Applicants being asked to provide a non-refundable deposit before May 1 should ask the college requesting it for the name and address of a state representative of NACAC or contact the national NACAC office in Washington, D.C.

  According to the NACAC principles, applicants have the responsibility:

  1. to be aware of the admissions and financial aid policies of colleges and universities to which they apply for admission.
  2. to complete and submit required materials to colleges and universities.
  3. to meet all application deadlines.
  4. to follow college application procedures of the high school or college they are attending.
  5. to notify the colleges and universities which have offered admission of their acceptance or rejection of their offer as soon as they have heard from all to which the applicant has applied or by May 1, whichever is earlier.
