Admissions Policy

Ensign College accepts qualified students without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion, sex (including pregnancy), age, disability, genetic information, or veteran status provided they have met the equivalent of high school completion/graduation requirements or the ability to benefit per federal financial aid regulations; agree to abide by the college’s policies, including the Church Educational System (CES) Honor Code and Dress and Grooming Standards; and are otherwise qualified as determined by college policy through a holistic review.

General Admission Requirements:

  1. Have a high school diploma or equivalent or meet the Utah age of compulsory education (18 years old).
  2. Have a completed Ecclesiastical Endorsement.
  3. For non-native English speakers (domestic and international) or those educated in a non-English-speaking curriculum, provide proof of English proficiency.

Qualified applicants who meet these general admission requirements are considered for admission based on a holistic evaluation of their educational goals and commitment to college policies and standard.

If an applicant has already earned an Associate of Science (AS) in the U.S., the applicant can only be in a certificate, Associate of Applied Science (AAS), or Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) program and may not enroll to earn a second AS degree. If an applicant has been awarded an Associate of Science degree outside of the U.S., and an approved transcript evaluation service has evaluated the degree to be equivalent to a degree received from an U.S. accredited institution, the applicant will still be eligible to apply for any one of Ensign College's Associate of Science degrees. A student who has previously earned a bachelor’s degree from Ensign College or another regionally accredited institution is eligible to pursue a second Bachelor’s of Applied Science degree in a different discipline provided the declared program of study cannot be the same as the previously awarded degree.

Admission may be restricted by semester or department depending on college or program capacities.

Applicants must have all application material submitted on or before the established deadlines listed on the website at ensign.edu/admissions-dates-deadlines .

Official transcripts from previously attended colleges and universities must be received before transfer credit can be applied to a student’s Ensign College program.
