First-time Applicants
Follow the steps below to apply to the Weekend Program at St. Catherine University.
Admission requirements
To be considered for admission, you must have graduated from an accredited high school or have earned a General Education Development (GED) diploma. If your previous academic record indicates past difficulty or if you have never taken a college course, you may be asked to provide additional information or to participate in a personal interview.
When to apply
To allow enough time to process your application, we recommend that you submit all application materials at least four weeks prior to the start of the term.
It is to your advantage to apply early. By getting admitted early you can receive your official transcript evaluation and financial aid award that much sooner. You would also be able to register at the first opportunity.
