Admission

General Admission Information

The University considers applications for admission on a rolling basis. The Admission Committee reviews applications as soon as all supporting documents have been received. Applicants are encouraged to apply at the beginning of the term or semester prior to which they wish to enroll. While the Office of Admission makes every attempt to accommodate students who apply at any time, applications completed less than one week prior to the beginning of a term or semester may not be reviewed before courses begin.

The application for admission to the St. Louis campus also serves as the merit scholarship application. February 1st is the priority deadline to complete the application for fall semester applicants who wish to maximize their consideration for scholarship, financial aid, and housing. Applications submitted for the fall semester after the February 1st priority date will be considered for scholarship, financial aid, and housing spaces on an "as available" basis.  

Students should apply to only one Webster University campus. Applicants may contact the Office of Admission at their original campus to request a change in the Webster campus location of an existing application.

First-Year Admission

To be considered for first-year admission, applicants should submit the following:

• A completed online application for undergraduate admission. Students may submit the University's institutional application or The Common Application. Equal consideration is given to both during the admission review.
• An official high school transcript from the last high school attended or from a home school program. A GED/HISET certificate may be provided in lieu of the high school transcript. All transcripts issued in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
• Official transcripts from all college-level credit courses obtained while in high school.
• Webster University is a test-optional university. At the time of application, students may decide whether they wish for test scores (ACT or SAT) to be considered for admission. For students submitting test scores as part of their application file, Webster will accept self-reported test scores. Freshman applicants can list test scores on their Common Application, and these test scores will meet the requirement for admission. All freshman admitted and who ultimately enroll at Webster must submit official test scores prior to the start of their first term. Official test scores will be required prior to the start of the term for reporting purposes. Scores listed on an official high school transcript are considered official.

Furthermore, the Office of Admission, when it deems necessary, reserves the right to request the following additional documents when considering a student for admission:

• One letter of recommendation.
• A personal statement/essay

Applicants should submit official transcripts from all institutions attended to the Office of Admission at transcripts@webster.edu or the following address:

Strong consideration will be given to applicants who have achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better (on a 4.0 scale) on all previous academic work.

Certain academic programs have additional academic requirements. Please refer to each academic program for details on additional admission requirements.

Undergraduate applicants who apply and are provisionally accepted either by submitting unofficial transcripts or before completing their high school diploma degree must submit a final transcript indicating the degree received and the date conferred. If transcripts do not indicate degree or conferral date a copy of diploma is required. This official transcript must be on file within eight weeks from the beginning of the student's starting term for full acceptance to the University.

If the student has attended a school in a country that does not issue transcripts to other schools, and instead issues only one original certificate or mark sheet directly to the student, then the student can bring in their original, final transcript and diploma to a Webster staff member, for the staff member to verify and take certified true copies. These copies will become the official transcripts and the originals will be returned to the student.

Institutions must be accredited by the appropriate recognition body. U.S. institutions must be accredited by a regional accredited body.

General Application Information

Admission to Desired Major
The Admissions Committee at Webster University reviews each applicant's background for two areas of competence. The initial review focuses on the student's overall academic performance in all coursework attempted prior to application at Webster. The second review concentrates on the student's previous preparation and ability in the intended major area(s). The decision regarding admission to the University will be based on both areas of review.

However, admission to the University does not guarantee acceptance as a declared major in any specific program. Students normally request formal acceptance into the desired major after a period of satisfactory academic progress at Webster. Requirements for acceptance as a major vary and are set by individual departments and programs.

Certificate Program Application
Students who wish to pursue a Certificate program at Webster must apply and be accepted as a degree-seeking student.

Deferred Admission
An accepted student may request a deferral of their acceptance for up to one academic year by making a written request to the Admission Office. Students who defer admission must submit official transcripts of any academic work completed after acceptance and prior to enrollment at Webster.

Degree-seeking students whose enrollment has been interrupted for one calendar year or longer must apply for readmission prior to resuming studies at the University. Readmitted students follow the academic policies and degree requirements of the catalog in effect at the term of their re-enrollment. Readmission is normally requested through the Office of Academic Advising.

Students requesting readmission must submit official transcripts of all academic work completed since prior enrollment at Webster. Students must pay any outstanding balance in the Business Office before the student is permitted to enroll. Students who voluntarily leave the University while on academic probation will be readmitted on probation. See Academic Progress under the Academic Policies and Information section of this catalog.

Non-Academic Issues and Admission

A disciplinary violation or criminal conviction may affect admission, enrollment, or course of study, whether occurring prior to the time of application, while the application is under review, or after the admission decision has been made.

Failure by the applicant to fully disclose this information on the application can result in revocation of the admission offer, dis-enrollment after matriculation, or other disciplinary action. If a student's application misrepresents any information, for any reason, admission or enrollment may be revoked.

Notification of Decision on Admission
The University's admission decision is communicated by email and letter. Students who are admitted will receive information regarding enrollment confirmation and registration information.
