First-Time Freshmen

Due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, Paine College has adjusted its admission requirements. The regular SAT and ACT score requirement has been waived. Students who have taken the SAT or ACT are encouraged, but not required, to submit their scores. 
 

To receive an admission decision, students must still meet all admissions requirements and the adjusted minimum grade point average (GPA). 
 

You can turn in your transcript by using an electronic transcript service such as GAFutures, Parchment, or eScript. The easiest and fastest way to turn in your transcript is to simply email a copy to us. It can be send to admissions@paine.edu. Once received, we will add it to your application.
