Evaluation Assessment Process to Determine Eligibility
The University provides applicants with the opportunity to determine their status prior to enrollment. This procedure is conducted without applicants incurring any academic commitment.
This eligibility assessment will provide applicants with all the necessary information that will allow them, if accepted, to make an enrollment decision. To determine eligibility, applicants are required to submit the following:
- Request for Evaluation of Eligibility Application (which can be completed online at http://application.wnuedu.com).
- A $50.00 evaluation assessment fee.
Student loans: If you plan to finance your education, an online application can be completed at http://slm.wnuedu.com or you may contact Wells Fargo at (800) 230-4080.
Documentation Required to Complete Enrollment
A detailed resume is required in addition to the formal application. In addition:
- Transfer credits must be submitted within the first 120 days of a student's enrollment at Warren National.
- To be considered for transfer, previous coursework must be listed on an official transcript bearing the signature of the Registrar and the official seal of the institution from which it was issued. Only credits earned by the institution issuing the transcripts will be accepted. If students wish to transfer credits from more than one previous institution, a transcript must be provided from each school where credits were earned.
- Only official transcripts from colleges and universities in candidacy status or accredited by a national or regional accreditation agency will be accepted. Unofficial transcripts may be used for evaluation purposes on a provisional basis. Official acceptance of transfer credits occurs when Warren National receives the official transcript..
