Admissions Requirements and Student Profiles

Sampoerna University seeks to admit students who are interested in an international-standard higher education and have the basic skills to succeed in an American-style university environment.  As a university that teaches all of its programs in English, successful applicants should have at least a working knowledge of Academic English.  In many cases, admitted students come from private, international high schools and the very top performing public high schools.

Our admissions policies identify the minimum necessary qualifications for acceptance. For first-time-in-college applicants, this includes a minimum cumulative high school grade point average and minimum grade point averages in English and Mathematics (7.0 on a 10-point grading scale.)  Applicants must also demonstrate college readiness in English and Mathematics by completing a standardized assessment or by providing a basis for an exception (i.e. completion of college-level English and Mathematics courses from a regionally accredited institution).  Applicants who show promise but fall below the required scores in English and/or Mathematics may be admitted into a pre-university Developmental Education program.  Students may take a combination of credit and non-credit courses while they address their deficiency in English and/or Mathematics.

The minimum necessary qualifications for acceptance for first-time-in-college applicants are:

• Cumulative high school GPA of 7.0 on a 10-point grading scale
• GPA of 7.0 (on a 10-point grading scale) in English and Mathematics
• Scores above 50% on all sections of our Placement Test

Planning For Success - Advising At Sampoerna University

Sampoerna University is committed to quality academic advising for all students. Advising serves a critical function for students. We support you in understanding academic expectations and will help you navigate academic curriculum, opportunities, and resources.

Each student at SU has an academic advisor who will provide guidance as you transition from high school to SU and will support you through graduation.

All students will create a degree plan that meets Sampoerna University’s education requirements and their educational and career objectives. The degree plans are a comprehensive list of the courses students must complete to satisfy their program requirements. Academic advisors will help develop and assess the educational degree plans created jointly between advisor and student.
