Admissions
An acceptance rate of 69% puts Siena Heights University on the accessible end — a realistic target for a broad range of applicants. With 1,418 applicants, admissions statistics here move a lot on small changes. Yield sits at 36% — the remainder of admitted students enroll elsewhere or not at all. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 10% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 413–528 | 34 (10%) |
| SAT Math | 393–545 | |
| ACT Composite | 16–23 | 23 (7%) |

Only 39% finish within six years, so roughly three in five students leave without the credential. 70% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. 33% of students transfer out, which reframes what the graduation rate above is measuring. The 14:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,582 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $17,520 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Net price varies modestly by income — $15,624 at $0–30k against $17,857 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Most students get help: 88% receive grants worth $15,670 on average. 73% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $15,624 |
| $30–48k | $15,145 |
| $48–75k | $17,260 |
| $75–110k | $18,284 |
| $110k+ | $17,857 |
