Johnson C. Smith University has the right to change its admission requirements. The University is test-optional, but the SAT or ACT scores may be required for presidential scholarships. Each candidate is evaluated based on their merit. Although multiple factors are considered in determining the admission of each candidate, no criterion is necessarily more important than the others. If a student submits false information in their application or school transcript, their acceptance for admission will be immediately revoked. The Director of Admissions and Recruitment will oversee this revocation of admission and enrollment. In case of disagreement, the student may appeal this decision to the Sr. Vice President of Strategic Enrollment and Retention Management, whose decision will be considered final.
