Admission Policies

Are first-time, first-year students accepted for terms other than the fall?Yes

Does your institution offer an early decision plan (an admission plan that permits students to apply and be notified of an admission decision well in advance of the regular notification date and that asks students to commit to attending if accepted) for first-time, first-year applicants for fall enrollment?Yes

Do you have a nonbinding early action plan whereby students are notified of an admission decision well in advance of the regular notification date but do not have to commit to attending your college?Yes

Is your early action plan a “restrictive” plan under which you limit students from applying to other early plans?No

Transfer Credit Policies

American Council on Education (ACE)Yes

DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST)Yes

Are the military/veteran credit transfer policies published on your website?Yes

Describe other military/veteran transfer credit policies unique to your institution:Page 26, University Catalog, under Credit for Military Veterans. "...Veterans who have completed basic training, and have been honorably discharged, will be granted one lower-level and one upper-level fitness and recreational activity credit after submitting a DD 214 to the Office of the Registrar. Students on active duty may submit their Joint Services Military Transcript if a DD 214 is not available. If the military coursework seems applicable to a course offered at SU, then the corresponding department chair may further review the course to determine if transfer credit is approved and applicable toward meeting a degree requirement. While SU does not automatically approve credit for CLEP taken prior to entering SU, we can work with a student on a case by case basis to determine if the credit is applicable. Generally, SU students are approved to take CLEP on a case by case basis after they have already enrolled.
