Freshmen Students
Freshmen are defined as those who have graduated from a secondary school. Candidates who earned college credit before high
school graduation or attempted less than 12 hours after high school, are considered freshmen with advanced standing and should
have their college transcripts sent to the Office of Admission. High school seniors can apply to BGSU Firelands beginning
August 1 before their senior year.
If you wish to apply for BGSU main campus admission, please obtain a main campus application by visiting the BGSU Main Campus Admission web site or by calling 419-372-BGSU.
Transfer Students
Students who have attempted 12 or more hours, excluding remedial or developmental courses since high school, at a college
or university other than Bowling Green State University, are considered transfer applicants. Transfer students must have a
minimum accumulative grade point average (GPA), among all schools, of 2.0 or better. Students whose GPA does not meet this
minimum requirement must either return to their previous institution and raise the grade point average or not attend any college
for the period of one academic year.
Students who have earned more than 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours of coursework at a previous institution(s), will
not be required to provide a copy of a high school transcript.
High School Equivalency
Students who have earned high school equivalency through the General Educational Development (GED) testing program, should
send a copy of the GED Certificate and scores to the Office of Admissions along with a copy of a high school transcript.
Application Process
- Students are encouraged to apply online at http://choose.bgsu.edu/firelands.
- OR complete the Application for Undergraduate Admission.
- Submit a nonrefundable $40 application fee (check or money order payable to BGSU if using paper application).
- Submit an official high school transcript, showing at least sixth semester GPA on a 4.0 scale (waived if earned more than
30 semester or 45 quarter hours of coursework from a college or university other than Bowing Green State University after
graduation).
- Students with previous college work must submit all (including unaccredited) college transcripts.
- Submit copy of GED if received.
- Submit ACT or SAT test results, if students completed secondary education through an alternative program such as home schooling.
Home schooling through a regionally accredited program will not require the ACT, SAT or GED. Home schooling through an unaccredited
program will require either a 21 on the ACT or 1000 on the SAT or successful completion of the GED.
- Students whose native language is not English must take the TOEFl test or the Michigan Test of English language proficiency.
This is required of international students issued immigrant visas, international students transferring from another American
college or university, those (with English as a foreign language) from U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and any other
U.S. citizen or noncitizen whose native language is not English.
- Students who earned Advanced Placement before enrolling at BGSU Firelands should have their scores sent to BGSU’s Office of
Registration and Records, 110 Administration Bldg., Bowling Green, OH 43403-0130. Credit for the College Level Examination
