- Minimally satisfy all Catholic University admission requirements in place at the time of the application;
- Have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 GPA in all credited high school courses (as calculated by Catholic University);
- Students planning to study nursing, engineering, biology, chemistry, or physics must have reached pre-calculus for mathematics, and must have three lab sciences (for example, biology, chemistry, physics), with no less than a "B" average.
Trinity students who meet the November 1 early action deadline will receive their admission and merit scholarship decision before December 15; Trinity students who meet the January 15 regular decision deadline will receive their admission and merit scholarship decision before March 15.
