Freshman applicant admission requirements

• Successful completion of high school curriculum at a regionally accredited school
• Minimum 2.5 GPA in core classes (math, science, social studies, foreign language, literature) — not cumulative

At Brenau we do not require SAT or ACT scores to make an admissions decision.

All home schooled applicants will be asked to complete an interview.

Undergraduate admission on probationary status

Undergraduate applicants (freshmen or transfers) that have been reviewed, but do not meet minimum admission requirements to the university, may be admitted on a probationary status.

Those on probationary status must earn a minimum 2.0 GPA in their first 12 semester hours at Brenau to be removed from probationary status.

Brenau Book Bundle

If you are an undergraduate student, you’ll receive your books through Brenau Book Bundle — a rental program designed to help save you time and money, and ensure you have your course materials on or before the first day of classes. After you register, the bookstore bundles all the books you need for your classes.

Campus Bookstore

Brenau offers both an online bookstore and an on ground bookstore on the Gainesville campus. Textbook rentals are also available. To find the books needed for your classes, visit our online bookstore. Make sure to have your course list handy when viewing our selection. Click on the “Textbook” tab on the bookstore page to search for the books you need.
