The applicant must be a graduate of an accredited high school or present evidence of satisfactory scores from the test of General Education Development (GED).

Spalding University requires no specific units or courses as prerequisites that must be completed before admission. However, a desirable preparation includes the core requirements as defined by the Kentucky Education Reform Act, as follows, or its equivalent:

• English - four years
• Social Science - two years
• Natural Science - two years
• Mathematics - three years
• Foreign Language - two years of the same language

Spalding University considers the total profile of a prospective student. Applicants most likely to succeed have a solid preparation of academic courses. Criteria for automatic admission to the university requires a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher. Students with a cumulative grade point average between 2.0 to 2.49 are automatically admitted into the Eagles Scholar Pathway. The Undergraduate Admissions Committee considers a holistic profile of undergraduate applicants who do not meet critieria for automatic admission.

Before any admission action can be taken on a prospective student's application, the following documents must be submitted to the Admissions Office:

1. A completed application with a non-refundable application fee;
2. An official high school transcript* or an official score report from the test of General Education Development (GED);
3. A scan or photocopy of the applicant’s state-issued driver’s license or state-issued identification card.

* Official transcripts are those sent directly to Spalding from the issuing institution. Any transcript marked "issued to student" or any transcript that is hand delivered by the student is not considered an official transcript. Faxed transcripts are not considered official transcripts.
