Angola Campus Application Requirements

Ready to apply to Trine University’s main campus in Angola, Indiana? Here’s what we need to get started:

What to Submit:

1. High School Transcript
Ask your high school to send us your current transcript. We accept transcripts in several ways:

  • Mail
  • Email
  • Screenshot
  • Parchment or other secure systems

2. Test Scores (Optional)
Trine is Test-Optional — submitting ACT or SAT scores is completely up to you. We focus more on your overall academic record than a single test result.

If you choose to submit scores:

  • ACT code: 1250
  • SAT code: 1811

Why We’re Test-Optional

At Trine, we believe your potential is more than just a test score. Our test-optional policy is designed to remove barriers, not lower standards.

We take a holistic approach to admission, looking at:

  • Your academic performance and course rigor
  • Involvement in your school or community
  • Personal accomplishments

We understand that not everyone has the same access to test prep or testing centers. That’s why we give you the choice—and review every application with fairness and care.

Admissions Timeline

We accept applications on a rolling basis, which means you can apply any time.
Expect a decision within 2–3 weeks after we receive your application and supporting materials.
