KSU Freshman Requirements
Accepted Student Night 2012 Undergraduate Admissions held its First Annual Accepted Student Night on February 10th at the men’s basketball game against Mercer University. Graduating high school seniors that have been accepted for fall semester 2012 were invited to experience a small taste of student life at KSU, which involved pre-game events and a record attendance at the basketball game. Accepted students were able to attend the pregame tailgate and visit with different enrollment departments to acquire information on different enrollment services. Plans are actively being made to host a spring event at a future KSU baseball game. Encourage your students to apply now as well as submit an official transcript with official SAT/ACT test scores directly from The College Board or ACT. This is what is needed for an admissions decision to be made. We are looking forward to seeing all accepted students at our Accepted Student Day with KSU Baseball! Go Owls!
KSU Admission Standards are set higher than the Freshman Index. Applicants must meet all three individual component minimums as listed below:
17 Units of CPC Coursework 2.5 GPA based on CPC Courses Minimum Test Scores SAT - 950 Critical Reading (490) Math (460) ACT - Composite (20) English (20) Math (19)

Director’s Corner
Meet the enrollment specialists Jacinta Luster
Kennesaw State University is a univer-
Enrollment Specialists & Minority Recruiter I was raised here in Kennesaw GA. I graduated from Kennesaw Mountain High School where I was heavily involved in Student Government. I was a transfer student from Georgia Highlands and received my associates in Business Administration and ďŹ nished my bachelor's in Business Management at KSU! The reason that I choose KSU was that I loved being close to home, but still going to a University that was big campus with a small campus feel. When I was a student here I was involved in S.T.A.R.S and I also worked on campus in the Admissions oďŹƒce. My position is Enrollment Specialist and Recruiter for Minority Students. I love being around my close friends and family, and I love any type of musical theater. Hope to see all of you making your own memories here at KSU! I am the Enrollment Specialist for the following counties:
