Southwestern Adventist University admits qualified applicants without regard to race, color, gender, disability, or national origin.  While the Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsors and financially underwrites the University and while the majority of its students are Seventh-day Adventists, the University requires no specific religious affiliation for admission.  The University will admit persons of other or no religious persuasion who meet its academic standards and who express their willingness to respect its religious, social, and cultural characteristics.
