The admission process at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must submit an online application via the GVSU website or Common App, along with a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores are required, though test-optional policies may apply. Transfer students need college transcripts instead.
GVSU reviews applications holistically, considering GPA, coursework rigor, and extracurricular involvement. Deadlines vary by semester, with early action options available. After submission, applicants can track their status online. Admitted students receive an acceptance letter and details on next steps, including housing and orientation registration.
