Steps to follow when applying for admission:

1. Submit an application for admission to: Hesston College Admissions, Box 3000, Hesston, KS 67062. You may choose to download the application or apply online.
2. Request official transcripts from your high school counselor (and from the registrar of any college you have attended, if applicable). Ask your counselor (or registrar) to send your transcripts directly to Hesston College. For academic records, home-schooled applicants are required to submit 1) an outline or transcript of coursework covered including grades earned or a GED test score, and 2) standardized test (ACT/SAT) scores. The admissions office may also request a certificate of high school completion from the home state.
3. Provide references if you are applying to enter the aviation or nursing program. Please provide references from two adults who know you well (employers, supervisors, teachers, coaches, pastors, etc.). Ask your references to complete our online form at www.hesston.edu/reference.
4. Students have the option to submit ACT and SAT test scores if it benefits them. However, all nursing, engineering and aviation majors do have a test score requirement. Because test scores are used at Hesston College to assist in academic advising, career counseling and in determining scholarship eligibility and probationary status, those who have not completed one of these tests will be required to take a general purpose placement test when they arrive on campus.
5. Upon admittance, send a $200 deposit to Hesston College to secure your spot at Hesston, be first in line to register for classes and be placed in a dorm room. The deposit is applied toward your first term tuition and expenses.

For additional details, read the college’s Admissions Policy in the Hesston College Catalog.

Re-admission

Students who have previously attended Hesston College may apply for readmission by notifying the admissions office. The student’s original file will be reviewed and updated records will be requested as needed.

Students who have been dismissed from Hesston College must apply for readmission through the academic development or student development committee.

Students whose studies at Hesston College have been interrupted by five years or more may be required to meet requirements of the catalog at the time of re-admission.

Transfer of College Credits to Hesston

Hesston College recognizes certain course work completed at other colleges and universities. Certified transcripts should be sent directly to the admissions office at Hesston from the issuing institution. Transcripts are reviewed by the registrar and academic advisors. Accepted courses are recorded on the student’s Hesston College transcript after the student has successfully completed one term of study at Hesston.

Transfer students planning to earn a degree from Hesston College must complete one term of residency with a minimum of 12 credit hours at Hesston. Only six hours may be transferred in at the end of a student’s experience at Hesston to complete degree requirements.

College level course work completed at accredited institutions may generally be transferred if (1) it is equal to or substitutes for a specific course required in a degree program at Hesston and if (2) the hours of credit transferred plus the hours to be completed at Hesston do not exceed the number of hours required for a degree. Only courses with a grade of C or better are considered. Credits from non-accredited institutions will be reviewed after the student has completed one term of study at Hesston.

College credit may be awarded for certain advanced high school courses approved by the Mennonite Secondary Education Council (MSEC) and Mennonite Board of Missions (MBM). Requests for credit should be made to the registrar.
