Undergraduate Admissions Requirements
Freshmen/First Year
If you’re starting an associate or bachelor’s degree program with fewer than 15 college credits under your belt, applying to college is simple. All you need to get started is:
- A completed admissions application
- A copy of your official high school diploma or transcript, or a copy of the GED or state equivalency diploma and scores.
- Official college transcripts for transfer evaluation if applicable.
Freshmen/First Year students who have not earned a grade of “C” or above in college-level English and mathematics are required to submit a writing sample and complete a math inventory to evaluate your needs, and enroll
in the Student Success Seminar, PRC100. For more information, please see the Orientation Course Requirement and the Placement Policy.
Transfer Students
Already received credits from another school? We make it easy to transfer them into a Peirce undergraduate program. Students who have earned 15 or more college credits but fewer than 45 college credits are considered transfer students and must submit:
- A completed application for admission
- Official college transcripts for transfer evaluation.
If you didn’t earn a grade of “C” or above in college-level English and mathematics, you’ll need to submit a writing sample and complete a math inventory to evaluate your needs. Most students will need to take the Peirce College Orientation Course, PRC101. However, some students may be better served by taking the Peirce College Student Success Seminar, PRC100.
