CBASE Admissions Requirements
College admissions can sometimes be confusing. We strive to make it easy to understand and navigate through the process. There are stages involved in the admissions process, and the first stage is to understand the admissions requirements.

General Admissions Requirements

  1. A signed, completed application and a $35 application fee ($40 for international student applications).
  2. A signed, completed transcript request form for all institutions previously attended. Ask your admissions counselor for assistance with this process. If you process your own request for transcripts, please make sure they are sent directly to:

    Friends University
    Admissions Processing
    2100 W. University Ave.
    Wichita, KS 67213

    Official transcripts are only valid if sent directly from the high school or college to Friends University. Transcripts sent to you are considered unofficial.
  3. Official ACT or SAT scores if entering as a freshman and under the age of 23.
  4. If you are an incoming freshman, an ACT-GPA product* of 45 or above is required for full admission. Provisional admission is granted for products within the range of 20-44. A product below 20 is denied admission.
  5. If you are a transfer student (15 or more college credit hours) or exempt from the ACT requirement, a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above is required for full admission.

*ACT-GPA product is the student’s ACT composite score multiplied by his/her cumulative grade point average. An adjusted scale is used for students submitting SAT scores.

Admissions Requirements – Entering Freshmen

  • Applicants with an ACT-GPA product* of 45 or above are fully admitted to Friends University.
  • Applicants with an ACT-GPA product of less than 45 but equal to 20 or above are to be admitted provisionally.
  • Applicants with an ACT-GPA product of less than 20 are not to be admitted to Friends University.
  • Applicants out of high school more than five years or who are 23 years or older need not take the ACT but must have had a 2.0 high school grade point average.

*ACT-GPA product is the student’s ACT composite score multiplied by his/her cumulative grade point average. An adjusted scale is used for students submitting SAT scores.


Admissions Requirements – Transfer Students

  1. Transfer students with fewer than 15 transferable semester credits must submit ACT/SAT scores and official high school transcripts. Consideration for admission will fall under the same standards as entering freshmen.
  2. Transfer students with 15 or more transferable semester credits and a grade point average of 2.0 or higher are to be fully admitted to Friends University.

    • Transfer students who have accumulated at least 16 hours but fewer than 58 credit hours with a GPA between 1.6 and 2.0 are to be admitted provisionally.
    • Transfer students who have accumulated at least 16 hours but fewer than 58 credit hours with a GPA lower than 1.6 will not be admitted.
    • Transfer students who have accumulated 59 hours but fewer than 88 credit hours with a GPA between 1.8 and 2.0 are to be admitted provisionally.
    • Transfer students who have accumulated 59 hours but fewer than 88 credit hours with a GPA lower than 1.8 will not be admitted.
    • Transfer students who have accumulated more than 88 credit hours with a GPA lower than 2.0 will not be admitted.

Note: Transfer Student Credit: Credit is transferred with the grade earned in the course at the institution where the course was taken. All grades are calculated for a transfer GPA, including courses that might have been deleted from consideration by an “academic fresh start” at the transferring institution. Students should be aware that credits may be transcripted but not counted toward major or graduation requirements. “D” grades in major courses and certain other courses are not accepted toward graduation.


Admissions Requirements – GED Applicants

  1. Applicants with GED composite scores of 50 or more are to be fully admitted. (ACT-GED product* of 750 or more)
  2. Applicants with GED composite scores between 45 and 50 are to be admitted provisionally. (ACT-GED product 495 to 749)
  3. Applicants with GED composite scores below 45 are not to be admitted.
  4. Applicants who are 23 years or older do not need to take the ACT.

*ACT-GED product is the student’s ACT composite score multiplied by his/her GED composite score. An adjusted scale is used for students submitting SAT scores.
