REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

TRANSIENT STUDENTS

Admission to undergraduate courses for one semester or summer session may be granted to students from other colleges and universities whose courses of study have been approved by their academic deans or registrars. Transient students must complete an undergraduate application for admission, and transient permission from the student's home institution must be received in writing by the FMU Office of Admissions prior to enrolling.

CONCURRENTLY ENROLLED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

High school students who want to take one or more FMU courses must:

  • Be currently enrolled in high school.
  • Submit an Application for Admission to FMU and the $30 application fee.
  • Have scores of at least 900 on the SAT or PSAT, composite scores of at least 19 on the ACT, or place into specific courses with appropriate FMU placement test scores.
  • Submit a recommendation from high school counselor.

HONORS STUDENTS

The Honors Program at Francis Marion University gives gifted students in all majors the opportunity to work with the faculty in small and stimulating classes, engage in interdisciplinary study that synthesizes knowledge from different disciplines, and achieve their full intellectual potential. Participants in the Honors Program are encouraged to take an active role in the learning process and to be active learners, critical thinkers, and contributing members of today's global society.

Initial eligibility for the Honors Program is determined by SAT scores. A minimum score of 1100 on the SAT qualifies an entering student for the Honors Program. Second-semester freshmen must earn an overall grade point average of 3.0 in order to become or remain eligible for the Honors Program. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors must earn an overall grade point average of 3.25 in order to become or remain eligible for the Honors Program.

FORMER FMU STUDENTS

Students who have not attended continuously one or more semesters (fall or spring) and have not attended another post-secondary institution since leaving Francis Marion University must reapply by submitting an application for admission, which may be obtained in the Office of Admissions.
