Applying to college is an important step in your life — and we're here to help. Here you’ll find supporting documents and additional info that you will need for your application.
Prospective students must have graduated from a secondary school, possess an equivalent diploma, or have successfully completed the US General Education Development (GED) exam (minimum total score 225, no score below 40 on any of the five tests).
The minimum acceptable secondary school grade point average must be 2.50 or higher on the standard 4.0 scale. We also require a minimum composite score of 18 on the Enhanced American College Test (ACT) or a minimum of 400 on each individual score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). OHC requires the writing section for the SAT/ACT. Students who have already taken the SAT/ACT may satisfy the writing requirement by taking ACCUPLACER’s WritePlacer test, an affordable evaluation of writing skills, which is available at most colleges.
All students are expected to uphold the policies and standards of Ouachita Hills College as a Seventh-day Adventist institution. For more information about our policies and standards, please download our student handbook.
OHC reserves the right to deny admission based on its inability to meet the student’s educational needs and objectives.
All students are required to submit the results of a physical examination upon acceptance to Ouachita Hills College. You may submit documentation created and signed by your health practitioner, or you may download and print our physical exam form to be completed and signed by your health practitioner at your physical exam.
Students transferring from other recognized colleges or universities must have a combined cumulative grade point average of 2.50 or better. Students transferring to OHC with fewer than 24 semester credits (or 36 quarter credits) will be considered for admission on the basis of a combination of scores from their secondary school records and previous college work.
Ouachita Hills College admits students of any disability, race or color, national or ethnic origin, and seeks to provide them with all of the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded to students at the school. No discrimination in the administration of educational policies, scholarships, vocational training, extracurricular activities, or other school-administered programs is allowed.
Due to current U.S. Immigration regulations, OHC is unable to issue I-20’s for foreign students at this time.
