A student applying for admission needs to submit:
- the application for admission and the nonrefundable $20 application fee;
- official high school transcript (including course work through 11th grade); with a final high school transcript sent after graduation (showing the graduation date) to be received before the start of the first semester;
- A grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.6 is required in order to be admitted.
- Official college/university transcripts for any college/university coursework taken while in high school.
- Cottey is test optional, meaning test scores are not required. Students may submit test scores as supplemental material.
- Students who do not meet the above minimums or for whom the Admission Committee feels additional personal information is warranted may be required to submit supplemental materials like personal statements, letters of recommendation, essays, samples of graded coursework, Advanced Placement (AP) or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) scores, etc.
Cottey College will accept the General Educational Development (G.E.D.) test. Both the G.E.D. scores as well as an official copy of the certificate are required.
Based on the above requirements, each applicant will be individually evaluated for admission by the Admission Committee.
