Admission Process

Thank you for wanting to know more about the admission process at Virginia Union University. Whether you are a prospective freshman applicant or a returning VUU student, we have outlined a process for you. There are lots of suggestions within this site that can help make your application as competitive as possible.

The Admissions Committee has no equation or magic combination of grade point average and standardized test scores that ensure your admission to the university. The committee reviews each applicant's qualifications individually, examining a variety of characteristics that indicate academic background and potential for success. Our philosophy is not only to admit qualified students but to graduate successful seniors.

Admission to the university is competitive. We receive applications from students representing over 1,000 different high schools. Because high school programs and grading systems vary widely, the secondary program cannot be rigidly prescribed. However, in general, we expect candidates for admission to provide evidence of having been awarded a secondary high school diploma or a GED.
