You are considered a first-year student if you are still in high school or if you have not obtained credit in any college courses since graduating from high school. Viterbo is test-optional for first-year admissions - you do not need an ACT or SAT score to be considered for admission. First-year students can apply via the Common Application or on the Viterbo website.

You are considered a transfer student if you are a high school graduate who has taken coursework at a college or university after graduating from high school. Viterbo uses rolling admission. Transfer students must submit a high school transcript (or GED/HSED) and college transcripts from all previously attended collegiate institutions to be reviewed for admission. Transfer students can apply on the Viterbo website.
