Acceptance Requirements and Procedures

In addition to the application and enrollment requirements, all students must meet the acceptance requirements below to be officially accepted to Rasmussen University. Students must be officially accepted to Rasmussen University into an eligible degree, diploma or certificate program as one of the eligibility requirements to receive and have financial aid disbursed to their student account.

• Background check cleared for acceptance (select programs require prospective student’s completion of a background check)
• High School Verification documentation, if required, provided upon request, including submission of international high school documentation. High School Verification documentation is required for any applicant enrolling in a program through a Florida residential campus.
• Transcripts, official or unofficial, as required by program. International transcript documentation, as required.
• Select programs have program specific admissions requirements in addition to all general Rasmussen University admissions requirements. See the admissions requirements for these programs within the applicable program page of the catalog

If for any reason the data supplied in the admissions process is found to be false, invalid or does not satisfy state or federal requirements, or is incomplete, the applicant/student must understand:

1. they will not have met the admissions requirement of Rasmussen University and will be subject to immediate dismissal, and,
2. all Title IV financial aid and any state or institutional financial aid that was disbursed on behalf of the student may be refunded to the appropriate source, and
3. the student will be responsible to Rasmussen University for all money refunded, and
4. if the student has attended classes, final grades of “C” or higher awarded in courses completed before being accepted will appear on the transcript and count toward the cumulative grade point average. Final grades of “C-” or lower in courses completed will not appear on the transcript and will have no effect on the cumulative grade point average. Courses attempted, but not completed prior to withdrawal will not appear on the transcript and will have no effect on the cumulative grade point average, and
5. by completing the enrollment process at Rasmussen University, the applicant accepts the consequences of providing incomplete, false, invalid, or unsatisfactory information.

The University reserves the right to reject any applicant on the good faith belief that the applicant is seeking to enroll for any reason other than to obtain an educational degree or credential, or if the University determines that admission of the applicant would create a potential danger or disruption to the University or its existing students, staff, and faculty. In the event of rejection, any monies paid will be refunded in full. The date of acceptance by the University shall be presumed to be the date of delivery of the notice of acceptance; and if delivered by mail, the postmarked date of the letter of acceptance or if delivered electronically, the date the email was sent.
