2. Please read this statement carefully:

Requests to withhold information should be sent to the Office of Admissions at Shepherd University with the application agreement statement.
   
   
3. Early Action Plan
   Shepherd University offers early admission to students whose first college choice is Shepherd. Under early admission, a qualified applicant whose complete admissions application with all supporting credentials is on file in the Office of Admissions by November 15 will receive notice of acceptance within 10 days. This plan is designed to reduce the burden of the admissions process for those applicants who are considered highly desirable for admission by the university and who fully intend to enroll. A student applying for admission under the Early Action Plan should possess academic qualifications that meet minimum admissions standards at the end of the sixth semester of high school. These students must meet all the admissions requirements outlined in the university catalog.
   
   
4. General Application Procedures
   Applicants must submit the following documentation for consideration by the admissions staff:
   • $45 application fee
   • Official secondary school records documenting completion of the minimum high school academic unit requirements
   • Results of the American College Test (ACT) or the SAT Reasoning Test. The writing portion is strongly recommended.
   
   The admissions and academic personnel of Shepherd University may require enrollment in stretch-model classes and/or other appropriate measures for a student whose high school record and/or standardized test scores indicate a deficiency in certain areas.

Please note that specific departments within Shepherd have additional admissions requirements that are briefly covered in Special Departmental Admissions Requirements.
