Heidelberg University is committed to a holistic approach to application review. We value you as a person, as well as your academic credentials and track record. With that in mind, we have a test optional admission process. Students are required to submit a transcript and are encouraged, but not required, to submit ACT/SAT scores, an essay and any other materials they feel represent them for our holistic review process.
Students are still eligible for academic scholarship consideration, even without a test score. However, submitting a test score could allow for higher scholarship opportunities. Academic scholarships are awarded using a holistic review of your application including academic performance in high school, student involvement, essay, recommendation letters, and test scores
Students who wish to be considered for the Heidelberg Honors Program must submit standardized test scores or an essay with a specific prompt. Additionally, some academic majors may request a standardized test score for accreditation purposes after an admission decision is made.
