Admission Guide
Geneva College uses a rolling admissions process, so you can apply anytime throughout the year, though applying earlier gives you better housing options and financial aid consideration. Submit your application through the Common Application along with your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and either SAT or ACT scores.
The engineering program maintains more selective admission standards than the college overall, requiring stronger math and science preparation. Nursing also has additional requirements including prerequisite courses and clinical background checks that you must complete before starting the program.
Housing fills up quickly since Geneva is a small campus, so submit your housing application and deposit as soon as you're accepted. The college requires all unmarried students under 23 to live on campus unless they live with parents within commuting distance.
Geneva operates on a Reformed Presbyterian foundation, which means chapel attendance is mandatory and the campus follows a dry policy with no alcohol permitted. The academic calendar includes a January term where you take one intensive course for three weeks, which many students use for internships or study abroad.
Financial aid decisions come out with your acceptance letter, and the college offers both merit scholarships and need-based aid. You'll need to complete the FAFSA by March 15 for priority consideration. New student orientation occurs the week before classes start and includes placement testing for math and foreign language courses.
