Undergraduate Admissions

Applicants must:

  1. Rank in the top ½ of their high school graduating class and score a minimum SAT of 950 or minimum ACT of 20 OR rank in the lower ½ of their high school graduating class and score a minimum SAT of 990 or minimum ACT of 21 OR rank in the top 10% of their high school graduating class from an accredited high school with no minimum SAT or ACT score.
  2. Have graduated from a regionally accredited or state accredited high school with 22 units - 9.5 units of which must be of the following: English (4), Social Science (2.5), and Mathematics (3) - or received the General Education Diploma (GED) with a 50 composite score.

Applicants must submit:

  1. An application for admission with application fee of $35 (non-refundable).
  2. An official ACT or SAT score report. (For more accurate academic advising and awarding of credit based on subject scores, an official score report from the American College Testing (ACT) Program is needed.) Students are also required to submit a writing sample score from the SAT or ACT (All students take the writing portion on the SAT, but you must request it on the ACT) . Freshmen age 25 or older who do not rank in the upper half of their high school graduating class will be required to take the ACT or SAT. Their ACT/SAT scores must meet UMHB's admission requirements. Freshmen age 25 or older who rank in the upper half of their high school graduating class will not be required to take the ACT or SAT.
  3. (For early acceptance) a seventh semester high school transcript indicating current class rank and ACT or SAT scores. The transcript must be sent at the end of the fall semester of the student's senior year.
  4. An official final high school transcript after graduation which indicates graduation date and class rank.

Transfer Student Requirements

Students transferring less than 12 transferable semester hours will be admitted using criteria for freshman applicants as well as the following.

Applicants must:

  1. Be transferring credits from a regionally accredited college or university.
  2. Have an overall grade point average of 2.0 or better (based on a four-point system). Entering GPA will be calculated using all hours attempted. The one exception to this requirement concerns a course that was repeated. In this circumstance, only the last grade received for the repeated course will be used when calculating the entering GPA.
  3. Not be on scholastic or disciplinary suspension from any college or university.

Applicants must submit:

  1. Application for admission with application fee of $35 (non-refundable).
  2. An official transcript from each college previously attended (sent directly from the institution to UMHB). Even though courses taken at one institution are noted on another college's transcript, applicants must submit transcripts from the institution at which the courses were taken.

A limited number of students deficient in any of the above may be admitted on probationary status by consent of the Admissions Committee.  Admission status will be based on overall transfer grade point average and academic standing at the last college/university attended.
