Admissions

• Official High School Transcripts
• Official College Transcripts (if needed)
• Official ACT or SAT scores (if not opting for Test-Optional Policy)

Finlandia now offers a test-optional admissions policy. Students can opt-out of providing standardized test scores such as the ACT or SAT as part of their admissions process. Instead, students will be evaluated on high school or college grade point average and rigor of previous coursework. Students may still choose to submit an SAT/ACT score as part of their application process, should they feel the standardized test scores provide a more holistic view of their academic ability. Students who choose to apply test-optional cannot later submit test scores for consideration of admission.

EXCEPTIONS TO TEST-OPTIONAL

Homeschooled Students: Applicants who are home-schooled are required to submit official ACT or SAT scores.

International Students: International applicants who are non-native English speakers must submit an acceptable score on either the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to be admitted into a degree program. If an international student has spent the majority of the most recent four years of school in a setting where English is the primary language of instruction in all academic subjects (excluding foreign language and ESL/ELL courses), they are exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS requirement.

This can often be done via e-mail (admissions@finlandia.edu) or via mail using the address below.
