COVID-19更新

贝米吉州立大学 is making some temporary updates to our admission policy to help students navigate the challenges presented to them in these uncertain times.

No deadline to confirm enrollment

COVID has required many students to abruptly change their plans. Bemidji State will not enforce any confirmation of enrollment deadlines for upcoming semesters. Students can confirm their intent to enroll and register for classes up to the last day business day prior to classes beginning for a given semester.

Moving to “Test Flexible” Admission

We continue to offer “test flexible” admissions, meaning an ACT (or SAT) will not be required for an application review, 录取的决定, 或者优秀奖学金. We continue to encourage ACT/SAT test submissions as part of the application process, but understand that many students are unable to take these exams at this time. We will base our decision on a combination of GPA, 成绩单内容, and any optional supporting documents (essays or letters of recommendation) you submit.

ACT “Super Scoring” for Admission and 奖学金

Many students have contacted us about losing the opportunity to retake your ACT to improve merit scholarship chances. We will allow for ACT and SAT “Super Scoring” for admission and merit scholarship purposes, including those students who have already received an academic scholarship offer. To learn more about what a “Super Score” is, please 访问ACT网站.

For students who have taken multiple ACT tests, we encourage submission of all test scores for the best result. 这些可以通过 行为的网站, by a high school official via email, or on a high school transcript.

Accommodating Pass/Fail Grading

BSU understands that many schools used Pass or Fail grades during the pandemic. This will not negatively impact students in the admissions process. We will review your transcripts fully and use overall cumulative GPA for admissions decisions.

contact your 招生 Representative if you have questions about how these changes impact you.

How will scholarships work if I am admitted without an ACT?

BSU has adjusted our merit scholarship requirements.  In addition to our traditional criteria (GPA/class rank plus ACT/SAT), we have added a criteria that only uses GPA.
