*In lieu of the test requirement, Franciscan University will allow students applying for admission in Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 who are unable to take a standardized test to substitute a brief essay on the Mission of Franciscan University. For high school senior applicants who choose this option, a minimum cumulative weighted GPA of 3.2 is required for regular acceptance. If your GPA is below 3.2, contact your admissions counselor for options.
The essay can be emailed to [email protected] or to your admissions counselor with the subject line: “Undergraduate Admissions Essay.”
- The essay must be one page, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font
- If you have any questions about the testing requirements policy or require any assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the admissions office at [email protected] or you can contact your admissions counselor directly.
