The admission process at Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the SVSU website or Common App, accompanied by a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts or GED scores are required, along with ACT or SAT scores, though test-optional policies may apply.
Transfer students must submit transcripts from all previously attended institutions. International applicants need additional documentation, such as proof of English proficiency. Once submitted, applications are reviewed holistically, considering academic performance and potential. Admitted students receive an acceptance letter with further enrollment instructions, including housing and orientation details.
