Covenant College offers students an academically rigorous liberal arts education, equipping them to explore and express the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all things. Consistent with this mission, the average freshman has the following academic record from high school:

3.44 - 3.89 GPA unweighted
81 - 96 CLT range
24 - 30 ACT composite range

While this is the average academic profile that characterizes our student body, potential applicants should keep in mind that we consider every application on an individual basis. Anyone interested in a Covenant College education should apply.

Your high school curriculum should include at least 16 units, with each unit representing one year of satisfactory work in a particular subject. We recommend that your units be distributed as follows:

English: 4 units
Math: 3 units
History or Social Studies: 2 units
Natural Science: 2 units
Foreign Language: 2 units of the same language
Electives: 3 or 4 units

All Covenant applicants are required to submit a complete transcript of all high school work from ninth through twelfth grades. For homeschool students, an umbrella homeschool organization or cohort or the teaching parents may submit the transcript. Your transcript should include:

Years of study
Course titles
Letter grades

If you need assistance creating a transcript, see the free, downloadable transcript resources below to either edit electronically or print and fill in. This is not a requirement, it is simply a free resource we offer that can be used by an applicant and even shared with other homeschooling families.

If you are completing any dual-enrollment courses (college-level courses that you want to use for both high school and college credit), please indicate the name of the college on your application for admission. Your dual enrollment coursework must be included on your high school transcript, and an official transcript from each institution attended should be submitted in order to determine transfer credit.

All applicants are required to submit an Academic Reference Form completed by someone who knows them in an academic setting. This form cannot be completed by a parent or any other relative. You may ask another teacher, tutor, music instructor, coach, or even a Sunday School teacher to complete this form. While the required form must be completed by someone other than a relative, we welcome any additional comments from your parents that will help us get to know you better as a student. Your parent(s) may write a letter of recommendation in addition to the Academic Reference Form.
