Provisional Admission
Applicants who do not meet the standard admission criteria (due to previous grades, SAT or
ACT scores) but show promise for academic success may be reviewed for admission as provi-
sional students. Those students are referred to the Admission Committee for further evaluation
of their potential for successful college work. Students who are provisionally admitted may be
required to participate in a university skills training program designed to develop academic and
college organizational skills. These students may also be restricted in the number of credit hours
for which they may enroll within their first semester. Students should provide a personal state-
ment that reflects motivation and commitment and at least two letters of recommendation.

Certain students need not apply for regular admission to the University. The required materials
listed under each category must be submitted to the Registration and Student Records Office
prior to enrollment each semester.

may at any time prior to completing the nine (9) credit hours apply for admission to the uni-
versity as either degree-seeking or non-degree students.

Campus Visits
We encourage you to visit Avila University. Visits may be scheduled Monday through
Friday or by special appointment through the Office of Admission. When you schedule a
campus visit you may take a campus tour guided by an Avila student, meet with an admis-
sion representative, observe a class, talk with faculty, coaches and activity sponsors in your
areas of interest, and even spend the night on campus. The University also offers campus-
wide visit days called All About Avila Day and Transfer Visit Day twice a year.
