Apply for Admission to Brevard College
Applying is the first step to deciding if a school is the right fit for you. Because financial aid status is so important for many students, our admissions application also doubles as an application for our Half-Tuition Scholarship!
Congratulations on your decision to apply for admission!
Here's what we need from you:
- An application for admission.
- A copy your high school transcript. You may email an unofficial copy to admissions@brevard.edu
- A copy of your SAT or ACT score. You may email an unofficial copy to admissions@brevard.edu or you can apply test optional!
Test Optional Admission
You can choose test optional admission, which means the Admissions Office will not require your SAT or ACT score when making an admissions decision.
Test Optional Admissions is for prospective students who have decided that their standardized test scores are not a true representation of their academic potential; and therefore, have opted for their scores to not be considered as part of their application for admission to Brevard College.

Transfer applications submit the following:
- A completed application for admission.
- College transcripts from all institutions attended. You can send unofficial copies to admissions@brevard.edu. We'll need final copies before you register for classes.
- Your final high school transcript. You can email a copy to the Admissions Office at admissions@brevard.edu. You'll need to submit a final copy with graduation date before your register for classes.
