Applying to Maryville College

Maryville College is a proud member of the Common Application.  Whether you are currently

  • in high school applying as a first-year student,
  • a college student applying to transfer,
  • an international applicant, or
  • a Veteran with Yellow Ribbon Program benefits:

All applicants will use the Common Application
to apply to Maryville. 

Here's how to get started:

  1. Create your Common Application account
  2. Complete the application.
  3. Submit your completed application to Maryville College and your other schools of choice.

Transfer Applicants/Transfer Credit

To apply for admission, transfer students should complete the Common Application and submit the following:

  • Official transcript from EACH college attended.
  • If applicable, official transcript of high school work and scores from either the American College Testing Program (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board.

Students who have completed coursework at another regionally accredited college or university may be considered for admission to Maryville College in either the fall or spring semester. Generally, academic courses in which the student has earned a grade of "C" or above will be transferred and applied toward graduation requirements. College credits earned by students while they were enrolled in high school will be evaluated upon receipt of an official college transcript. Applicants are provided with an official Advanced Standing Estimate upon request.

Transfer applications are evaluated under the following guidelines:

  • Applicants with 30 semester hours or more in college-level academic coursework should have earned a minimum grade point average of 2.50. High school transcripts and test scores are not required of students who meet these standards.
  • Applicants who have earned less than 30 semester hours in college-level work should have a minimum grade point average of 2.50 in college-level academic work and present a transcript of high school work and ACT or SAT test scores that meet the standards for freshman admission. Applicants who have been out of high school for three years or more are not required to submit test scores.

Home-Schooled Students

Maryville College is proud to have enrolled and graduated many outstanding homeschooled students. Since we use the Common App, your process for admission is the same as for public or priavate school students. However, we strongly encourage you to stay in contact with your Admission Advisor to make sure your application materials are complete.

Early Admission

Students who have completed the junior year of high school may request consideration for early admission. In addition, local high school students who have time in their schedules for additional courses may enroll part-time on a space available basis.

Early admission candidates and high school students seeking to enroll part-time must furnish evidence of a strong high school record and above average test scores as well as a letter from the principal or guidance counselor indicating that the applicant has the intellectual and social maturity to profit from college study. A personal interview with an admission officer and a college faculty member is mandatory.

Early admission applicants should submit the application documents listed under the requirements section. High school students seeking to enroll part-time should submit the following:

  • Non-degree student application for admission. Please contact Admissions for this application.
  • Official transcript of high school work. Home schooled students should submit a summary of high-school level subjects studied along with an assessment of academic achievement in each area studied.
  • Scores from either the American College Testing Program (ACT) or the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, if available.
  • Letter of recommendation from the high school principal or guidance counselor.

Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate

Maryville College awards credit through the Advanced Placement (AP) program of the College Entrance Examination Board and the International Baccalaureate program. Students who achieve a minimum score of 4 on AP examinations or 4 on IB examinations will be granted college credit and may be eligible for advanced placement in College courses upon approval of the instructional departments involved. Applicants should submit requests for Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit during the summer prior to enrollment.

Enrollment Deposit

Following admission to the College, students are required to pay a $300 enrollment deposit; $100 of which is for housing, and $200 of which is a one-time general deposit. Students who intend to commute to Maryville College will have the housing portion of this deposit credited toward tuition. The enrollment deposit is refundable until May 1.
