Admission Policies and Procedures

Olivet Nazarene University desires to enroll students who are genuinely interested in experiencing an ‘‘Education With a Christian Purpose.’’ We believe that Jesus Christ should be the foundation and center of every individual’s life. As a life can never be complete unless it finds fulfillment in Jesus Christ, neither is knowledge complete until it is integrated with eternal values.

Admission is based on the composite picture afforded by the student’s transcripts and standardized test scores, and is granted to qualified students in conjunction with a supplementary Entrance Interview. The Admissions Committee is responsible for final action on each application.

Admission to the University does not constitute admission to any specific program of specialization; any additional prerequisite requirements for such programs are indicated in this catalog under their respective listings. Olivet Nazarene University policy prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age, color, creed, national origin or ethnic origin, marital status, or disability in the recruitment and admission of students and in the operation of all college programs, activities, and services. Any concerns regarding discrimination on the basis of any of the foregoing protected categories should be addressed to the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Burke Administration Building, (815) 939-5213.
