First Time Freshman Admission Process

Submit ACT or SAT scores taken within the last 5 years. The minimum score required for the ACT is a composite of 15*, or a combined SAT equivalent. (See www.collegeboard.org for SAT to ACT conversion.)

Submit high school transcript(s). A transcript is official if it shows the date of graduation. Must have a minimum 2.0* GPA from an accredited public or private high school, home school, or proof of high school equivalency (GED).

Submit the pastoral reference. The form should be from a licensed or ordained minister who has personal knowledge of your Christian lifestyle, ministry, or moral integrity.

Demonstrate religious experience. All applicants admitted for study at Nelson AIC must evidence a born-again spiritual experience as defined by John 3:3, Ephesians 2:8-9, Titus 2:11, Titus 3:5-7, and 1 John 1:7-10. Applicants are expected to have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and be striving to live a Christian lifestyle.

Transfer Student Admission Requirements

Transfer students must meet the same admissions requirements as entering freshman (see above). Students transferring with at least 21 hours of applicable transfer credit may have their high school transcripts and ACT or SAT score requirements waived. Applicable credit is defined as credit that applies to the student’s intended degree program at SAGU. SAGU requires that transfer students request official transcripts from each college attended. Transcript(s) must be sent directly from the previous college to the SAGU AIC admissions office. Students entering as transfers will be considered a freshman until official transcripts are received, evaluated, and processed.
