Our Promise – A Comprehensive Review
The admissions team at the University of Arizona realizes that personal excellence
can and should be evaluated by more than just academic achievement. Through
our Comprehensive Review process, we are expanding access to students who
will bring unique life experiences and personal achievements to our campus
community.
Admission and scholarship award decisions are driven by comprehensive review.
Every application may be reviewed by up to two different reviewers
before a final decision is made. This process allows us to consider more than
a student’s academic profile. Factors such as class rank, strength of curriculum,
performance in curriculum, grade point average in required core academic
courses, and ACT and/or SAT test scores will be considered. Other factors may
include leadership, service, work experience and extracurricular activities;
personal characteristics, attributes, and talents; and the ability to benefit from
and contribute to a diverse and challenging learning environment. We are
interested in learning more about the student’s preparedness, motivation, and
potential in the unique context of their experience. Applicants will have the
opportunity to include a brief statement to share any discrepancies in their
academic record or any additional information they would like to include.
Through this process, we are making more comprehensive and individualized
admission and scholarship decisions.
In recognition of the high level of academic aptitude and course work competency
demonstrated by many Arizona students who seek admission to UA, we also
offer Assured Admission. Students may earn admission to UA through the
Assured Admission process if they are an Arizona resident, attend a regionally
accredited high school, rank in the top 25 percent of their graduating class, and
have no course work deficiencies as prescribed by the Arizona Board of Regents
or have a 3.0 in the Arizona Board of Regents course requirements (see table on
page 6).
Arizona applicants who do not meet the Assured Admission criteria and all
applicants not considered Arizona residents will be considered for admission
through comprehensive review.
Students who take the General Education Development Test (GED) must submit
official test scores and meet the minimum requirements to be considered for
admission. Students who took the Fourth Test Series between 2001-2013 must
earn an average of 500. Students who took the Fifth Test Series beginning 2014
to present must earn an average of 680 AND each content module requires a
minimum score of 170.
Home-schooled students will be considered on the basis of portfolio/course
work, comprehensive review and SAT Reasoning Test or ACT scores.
Notes
Some programs or colleges may require additional application information and/
or admission requirements. If students apply to those programs and do not meet
the additional qualifications, they will be considered for admission in another
program for which they may qualify. For a complete program listing, please visit
degreesearch.arizona.edu. Estimating the likelihood of admission is very difficult
without considering the complete application file. Thus, it is crucial for applicants
to carefully complete the process by providing timely, comprehensive and
accurate information.
A separate application is required to enroll in the SALT Center. The SALT
Center provides individualized academic support by offering a comprehensive
range of services for students with learning and attention differences. There
are additional fees to use SALT Center services. You must apply to both the
University and to the SALT Center in order to be considered for admission
to the SALT Center. Due to the high demand of these services, it is also
recommended that you submit your application to the SALT Center at the same
time or very soon after submitting the UA application. For more information,
call 520.621.8493 or visit salt.arizona.edu.

residents or $80 for non-Arizona residents. This fee is
nonrefundable and nontransferable. Applications are
valid for one term only. Fee payment options include
check, money order, credit card, or eligible fee waiver.
If you plan to pay the application fee by credit
card, it is best to apply online. Meet with your
counselor if you believe you qualify for an
application fee waiver.
• If you choose to apply using a paper application,
submit the application and additional required
materials. Remember to sign your application and

call 520.621.3237 for more details.
2. What are the different ways I can apply?
As an undergraduate degree-seeking applicant, there are
two ways you can apply for admission. The preferred method for
you to apply is online by visiting https://slate.admissions.arizona.edu/apply/. (The
main advantages of applying online include immediate submission, electronic
acknowledgement, and the potential for faster processing.) You may also choose
to download the application, print out the appropriate PDF version, complete and
submit that form of application.
3. Can I submit my high school transcript(s) before I apply?
High school transcripts are not required for the initial evaluation and review for an
admission decision. Applicants are asked to provide self-reported grades. If you are
admitted and decide to enroll at the University of Arizona, you will be required to
submit a final, official high school transcript after graduation. Official high school
transcripts will be used to confirm all self-reported coursework and grades were
reported accurately prior to enrollment at the University of Arizona. If you provide
false information for the purpose of GPA or course improvement it may invalidate
further consideration for admissions or result in rescinding of the offer for admission
and scholarships.
4. Why do you ask for my Social Security number?
We use your Social Security number to confirm and match documents
associated with your application. You also must provide your Social Security
number in order to be considered for financial aid grants, loans and/or on-campus
employment.
5. I am a freshman applicant. What are the main factors you will consider in the
comprehensive review of my application file?
We consider the academic and non-academic elements of your application. In the area
of academic profile, we look at the strength of your curriculum, your performance
in the curriculum, and your academic aptitude or achievement as demonstrated by
scores on standardized tests. In the non-academic aspects of your application, we look
at your activities summary and your unique life experiences, attributes, achievements
and talents and additional information shared in your responses. You will have an
opportunity to submit an optional statement if you would like to share additional
information for the admissions office to consider.

admission process, e-mail us at admissions@arizona.edu or
call us at 520.621.3237.
6. If my high school does not rank, can I still be considered for admission?
Absolutely. We consider much more than the traditional measures of past and
projected performance and promise. The absence of class rank will not be a
disadvantage to a prepared and motivated student.
7. Do I need to have a certain test score in order to be considered for admission?
No, there is no minimum required test score. If you do not provide test scores,
you may be asked to submit test scores to the review committee for a more
comprehensive and complete review of your application for admission. Test scores are
important factors in comprehensive scholarship review. Also, some colleges or majors
may require test scores in order to consider applicants for admission to their specific
program of study. Essay portions of the ACT and SAT are not required for admission
consideration.
8. How many college units do I need to have completed in order to be considered a
transfer applicant?
In order to be considered for admission as a transfer applicant, you must have
completed a minimum of 12 transferable college semester credits/units after high
school by the time you apply and be a high school graduate (or equivalent). For more
details see Transfer Admission Requirements on page 2.
9. Can I submit additional materials such as letters of
recommendation?
Any non-required materials will not be considered or retained.
Therefore, we recommend that you do not submit any
additional materials other than what is requested on the
application.
10. What are the average academic profiles of last year's
entering freshman classes?
The freshman entering the UA in the fall of 2017 and
enrolling full-time had an unweighted mean GPA of 3.42, a
mean combined SAT critical reading and math: 1136, and a mean
ACT composite of 24.8.
11. Are you a resident of Arizona?
If you are not certain about which application processing fee to pay, the $50
or the $80, we encourage you to call the UA Residency Classification Office
at 520.621.3636. You may also visit their Web site at www.registrar.arizona.edu/
residency/general-residency-guidelines. (Remember, if you will be submitting an
eligible application processing fee waiver, you will not need to determine which fee
we will waive.) If you plan to submit a fee waiver do not submit a payment with your
application. We will not be able to refund the application fee even if we receive a fee
waiver after you have paid.

school. You must obtain a copy of your high school transcript and use it to complete the self-reported section of your application.
Your self-reported grades should match those displayed on your transcript. For example, if your transcript only lists final grades, then
you must report final grades, even if you know your semester grades. The official transcripts will be used to verify the information
you self-report. If you provided inaccurate information, your admission may be revoked or your
enrollment cancelled.

minimum standard for admission to the University of Arizona, your admission may be rescinded.
 If you only provide your senior year coursework or do not provide complete information in this section, you
will need to send us an official transcript.
 If you fill out this section completely you will receive a faster admissions decision, and the self-reported grades
you provide will replace official high school transcripts during the initial admission review process. For more
