Admissions

Stephen F. Austin State University encourages qualified applicants to apply for admission. Students seeking admission should make every effort to complete the appropriate procedure as soon as possible. Admission application forms, preliminary academic counseling, and evaluation of previous college course work are available on campus in the Admissions Office. The office is located on the second floor of the Rusk Building. Address mail or telephone inquiries to:

Office of Admissions P.O. Box 13051, SFA Station Nacogdoches, TX 75962-3051 Tel. (800) 259-9732 or (936) 468-2504 Fax (936) 468-3849

SFA recommends that students, while in high school, complete a college preparatory program. Although not required for admission to SFA, completion of a college preparatory program helps ensure success at the University. High school course recommendations include: English I-IV, algebra I and II, and geometry; two years of laboratory science (physical science, biology I and II, chemistry I and II, physics I and II); four years of social science; two years of the same foreign language; one year of computer science; and one year of fine arts.

Admission Procedure for First Semester Freshmen

• Complete the undergraduate application for admission to Stephen F. Austin State University.
  
  
• Arrange for official ACT or SAT scores to be sent to the University early in the senior year of high school. Test scores from the junior year are acceptable, and the submission of multiple test scores is permissible. The highest composite ACT or SAT (verbal plus math) result is used to determine admissibility. Test results must be forwarded directly from the testing service to SFA. Be sure to designate Stephen F. Austin State University in the ACT or SAT application (the SFA school code is 4188 for ACT and 6682 for SAT).
  
  
• Arrange for an official high school transcript to be sent to the SFA Admissions Office following graduation. This copy must include the final class rank and the date of graduation. All offers of admission are provisional and subject to cancellation unless this final transcript is received. An incomplete high school transcript is also required from applicants who do not satisfy the minimum SAT or ACT requirements. This transcript must indicate the applicant's numerical class rank at the conclusion of the junior year or first semester of the senior year.
  
  
• Arrange for official transcripts from all post-secondary educational institutions attended to be forwarded to the Office of Admissions regardless of whether transcript credit was earned, or is desired.

Admission policies for students not classified as First-Semester Freshman, including International Students, may be found in the General Bulletin.
