Inquiries pertaining to admission and general College information should be directed to the Admission Office. A visit to the College is strongly recommended. Visitors are able to talk with a member of the admissions staff, tour the campus with a student guide, attend classes, and dine in the Commons as guest of the College. The Admission Committee places primary emphasis on the applicant's secondary school record. Subjects taken, grades, SAT I or ACT scores, and class rank are among the more important factors taken into consideration.
Most students rank in the upper half of their graduating class, and many are in the top third.
The committee also reviews any additional information submitted by either the applicant or the school. For Freshman applicants who have pursued a non-traditional secondary education program, the General Equivalency Diploma, granted by the appropriate state agency, is recognized. The school record should be submitted directly to the Admissions Office by the applicant's counselor or principal. Roanoke College has no limitation on the number or proportion of qualified persons with disabilities who may be admitted. Applicants complete the usual application procedure.
