Direct Admission Criteria
The Direct Admission Partnership requires two main criteria to be met for a student to be eligible:
GPA of 3.0 or higher
Completion of all high school coursework
(in-progress coursework is acceptable)
Student Expectations
If a student meets the criteria or is on track to meet the criteria by high school graduation, they are guaranteed admission to UP, and will receive a preliminary scholarship based on their academic achievements. Upon receiving the direct admission offer, a student will need to complete:
Acceptance Form
This is NOT the university application and will not require an essay or letters of recommendation. It takes most students around five minutes to complete.
A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
This is for full financial aid consideration.
*Important Note
Students will also need to maintain their high school GPA during their senior year and are encouraged to be engaged and active within their high school environment.
Congratulations, we are so excited to welcome you to the UP family!
