Grand Canyon University admission requirements

I'm looking into Grand Canyon University and was hoping someone could shed some light on their admission requirements? I've tried researching but the info is kinda scattered.

Grand Canyon University offers both a traditional on-campus program and an online program, and they have slightly different admissions procedures.

For traditional on-campus first-year students, here are some of the key requirements:

- High School Transcripts: You will need to submit your official high school transcripts. GCU generally looks for a GPA of 3.0 or above, although they state that all applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

- Standardized Test Scores: GCU does not require the SAT or ACT. If you decide to submit your scores, they will be considered as part of your application.

- Application for Admission: This is the standard application where you provide information about yourself, your academic history, and your extracurricular activities. There is no application fee for GCU.

- Admissions Essay: Although not always required, the admissions essay gives you a chance to tell your story, share your goals, and explain why you believe GCU is a good fit for you.

For the online program, the process is a bit different:

- Application for Admission: Just like traditional applicants, you will need to complete the application form providing information about yourself and your academic background. There is no fee for the application.

- Admissions Interview: After submitting your application, an enrollment representative will contact you to conduct an admissions interview. This interview is primarily to ensure that the degree program you’ve chosen aligns with your career goals and educational preparedness.

- Transcript Request Form: You don't send your transcripts directly. Instead, you complete a Transcript Request Form, and GCU obtains your transcripts on your behalf.

In both cases, if you're uncertain or need some guidance throughout the application process, GCU Admissions Counselors are available to provide support and answer any questions, so don't hesitate to reach out to them.

Bear in mind that these requirements can change over time, so it’s always best to check directly with the school to get the most accurate, up-to-date information. The GCU admissions website should have all the current information you need.
