Iowa Regents Universities Admissions Requirements To be considered for admission to Iowa Regents Universities:
Regents Admission Index RAI = (2x ACT composite score) + (1x high school percentile rank) + (20x high school GPA) + (5x number of core courses) For the purpose of calculating the RAI, composite ACT score has a top value of 36 (SAT scores will be converted to an ACT equivalent); High school rank is expressed as a percentile with 99% as the top value; GPA is expressed on a 4-point scale; high school core courses include courses in social studies, math, science, language arts, and foreign language. Regent’s universities use the NCAA list of core courses to determine courses acceptable toward core course requirements. Year long courses are counted as one core course. Semester courses are counted as ½ core course.
Students from Iowa high schools who have an RAI of at least 245 and who meet the minimum number of high school courses required by the universities will qualify for automatic admission. Freshman applicants who have an RAI of less than 245 may also be admitted; however, each Regent university will review these applications on an individual basis and the admission decision will be specific to each institution. Applicants who feel their academic record is not an accurate reflection of their potential for success are encouraged to provide supplemental information explaining their circumstances in addition to their application, academic transcripts, and test scores. For more information regarding the Regents Admissions Index and to use the sample RAI calculator, visit the Iowa Board of Regents’ website: www.iowaregents.edu |

Scholarships Iowa State University offers automatic scholarship awards to Iowa resident freshman applicants who rank in the top 15 percent of their graduating class, who present a superior overall academic record that includes a challenging college preparatory curriculum, or who have achieved a minimum ACT or SAT score and grade point average as specified in the award requirements. Award Combinations: Students may not receive both the President’s Award for Competitive Excellence and the Academic Recognition Award. However, students receiving the President’s Award for Competitive Excellence or the Academic Recognition Award can also receive the Cardinal Leadership Scholar Award in addition to these scholarships. Deadline: These awards are automatically awarded to all qualified students who are offered admission by March 1. Awards may also be made after this date, contingent upon the availability of funds. Award requirements and values are reviewed on an annual basis and are, therefore, subject to change for future students. Important: While these awards may be offered based on preliminary or self-reported academic information, all awards are contingent upon receipt of your official, final high school transcript verifying all requirements have been met. If your final transcript shows all requirements have not been fulfilled, your award will be withdrawn. To qualify for a freshman scholarship, a student must enroll at Iowa State University for the fall semester immediately following high school graduation; a student who has attempted college coursework after the summer immediately following high school graduation is considered a transfer student, and, therefore, is not eligible for freshman scholarships. Additionally, a student must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident to qualify. Taking college classes? How will my credits transfer? Plan your journey to Iowa State University.
