Jacksonville State University requires the date of graduation and final GPA on the final transcript. JSU will accept ACT/SAT test scores from the official high school transcript.

*Application Fee Waivers - JSU will accept requests to waive the $35 admissions application fee for first year students who have a financial need. Requests including ACT/CollegeBoard fee waivers, NACAC fee waivers, and letters/emails from a high school administrator or counselor will be accepted. Students may complete an admissions application and select that they will request a fee waiver before submitting their application. Documentation of that request will be added as a supplemental item to complete the application. Students applying from Title I schools will automatically have their application fee waived.

Depending on the visitation policy and safety measures in place at your school, our staff can offer a virtual or in-person meeting.
