High School Graduation Diploma with a grade B average or above (3.0/4.0 unweighted) The University of South Wales has decided to remove the standardised test as mandatory entry requirements, meaning we are now test optional. For courses that require a specific subject e.g. the sciences, in addition to the overall B grade average in the High School Graduation Diploma we require one of the following: -B grade in the specific subject(s) in the High School Diploma -ACT (23) -SAT (1100) -Three AP’s (3+) Students who have successfully completed a 2-year Associate Degree or Professional Diploma at an institution such as a community college can be considered for advanced entry to the 2nd year of a relevant degree programme. Applicants transferring from community college or another university are assessed on an individual basis.
