Freed-Hardeman University accepts the ACT or SAT for scholarship and acceptance purposes. When you take these tests, please request that your scores be sent to FHU by completing the FHU school code, or you may submit an official high school transcript that includes your test scores. The residual ACT is offered on our campus by appointment in the Center for Academic Success. To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-FHU-FHU1 and check out the testing policies on-line.

After you have submitted your application, request that your high school guidance counselor send an official, three-year high school transcript for acceptance. Initial academic scholarships will be offered based on a three-year transcript, but a complete four-year transcript must be submitted at the conclusion of your senior year. If you have completed 30 or more college credit hours you will be accepted as a transfer student without consideration to ACT/SAT scores or high school transcripts. In this case, have your registrar send an official transcript for acceptance. If you have completed less than 30 college credit hours, send your college transcript along with your high school transcript and ACT/SAT scores.

Dorm requests and assignments are prioritized by the date your housing preference form is received. Housing assignments for new students are made in June prior to your August registration. Those seeking off-campus housing should contact the Office of Student Services to determine eligibility. Please contact the Office of Student Services at studentservices@fhu.edu for more information.

Every student is a candidate for some type of financial aid. The  Free Application for Federal Student Aid allows the university to determine financial need. This can be completed on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Any student wishing to apply for federal work study must submit a FAFSA. 

The FHU school code for the FAFSA is 003492.

All students, except those who graduated from an accredited public TN high school, are required to submit proof of two MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations.  These can be scanned and emailed, mailed, or faxed to FHU at 731-989-6047 (fax) or admissions@fhu.edu.  If you are applying as an international student, you need to print off the FHU International Student Health Form, have it filled out by a physician, and then return it to the Office of Admissions at FHU.

Fall enrolling students are required to attend a new student registration date. You may only schedule an appointment to attend after your admissions file is complete. A complete file includes your application, final four-year high school transcript, ACT or SAT scores and proof of immunization (health form for international students). Attending new student registration does not exclude you from attending fall registration. For a full list of registration dates please visit our Dates and Deadlines page.

All student accounts must be settled for the semester before the student arrives on move-in day. Student accounts may be settled by ensuring that award letters are signed and returned to the Office of Financial Aid and that all required paperwork has been submitted in order to process student aid. Required paperwork is specific to each student and will be included in the Award Package, along with a checklist that includes information on how and where to file the required documents. If a student's account is not completely covered with student aid, then a student may choose to set up a payment plan through Tuition Management Systems or make a payment through the Office of Student Accounts with cash, check, or credit card. A student who arrives to move-in on campus with a balance on his or her account will be asked to stop and make payment arrangements through the Office of Financial Aid or the Office of Student Accounts before heading to the dorms to move-in.
