Non-Graduates of High School
Delaware State University will consider your application for admission if you have satisfied high school graduation requirements under the General Education Development (GED) test, once you have completed 12 semester hours of transferable college coursework and met the University's transfer admission requirements. You must submit a notarized copy of their GED certificate with their application and fee to be considered for admission.
Project Success Program
Should your grade point average and/or test scores fall below the University’s admission standards, an offer of conditional acceptance may be extended contingent upon your enrollment in and successful completion of the Project Success Program. The Office of Admissions extends this offer at its discretion as seats in the program are limited.
