Admissions: Freshmen Admission Requirements

For automatic admission, you must meet three criteria:

• Successfully complete a college preparatory curriculum in high school.




• Rank in the upper one-half of your class.

  If your high school does not rank, we will review your file on an individual basis.




• Take the American College Test (ACT) or Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

  If you meet the first two requirements, there is no minimum ACT or SAT score. The average ACT score at UNI is 23, equivalent to the SAT score of 1060.

Students who do not meet the requirements listed above but who are otherwise well qualified, may also be admitted after individual review of their application.

Admission Requirements for Students Entering in Fall 2009

Students from Iowa high schools planning to begin their studies in Fall 2009 or later must have a Regent Admission Index (RAI) score of at least 245 and take the minimum number of required high school courses.

Students who achieve a score less than 245 will be considered for admission on an individual basis.

To calculate your Index score use the online RAI Calculator.
