To be eligible for admission to the State University of New York College at Old Westbury, applicants must meet specific academic and administrative requirements. Prospective students must have a high school diploma or equivalent, such as a GED. A competitive GPA, typically around 2.5 or higher, is recommended, though some programs may require stricter standards.
Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional for most programs but may strengthen an application. Transfer students must provide transcripts from all previously attended institutions. International applicants need proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) and visa documentation. Additional program-specific criteria may apply.
