Undergraduate Admission Information

The University promotes academic excellence through a highly selective admission process. Students admitted show strong personal motivation along with backgrounds of consistent academic growth and achievement. The University also attracts and seeks out socially and economically deprived students who show promise of benefiting from a Howard University education. If in doubt about any of the information in this bulletin, students should consult the deans of the schools or colleges for which they seek further information. The student has final responsibility for fulfilling all requirements. 
To protect its character and standards of scholarship, the University reserves the right, and the applicant concedes to the University the right, to deny admission to any student at any time for any reason the University deems sufficient.

Caution To Prospective Students

On September 24, 1983, the Board of Trustees of Howard University adopted the following policy statement regarding applicants for admission: “Applicants seeking admission to Howard University are required to submit accurate and complete credentials and accurate and complete information requested by the University. Applicants who fail to do so shall be denied admission. Enrolled students, who as applicants failed to submit accurate and complete credentials or accurate and complete information on their application for admission, shall be subject to dismissal when the same is made known regardless of classification.”
