Acceptance into the College
13
Students who have not completed high school may submit results of the General
Educational Development examination (GED) instead of a high school transcript. If the GED is
completed successfully, the student may be eligible for admission.
Students are encouraged to begin the application process as early as possible. High school
students should apply during the first semester of their senior year. International students should
contact the admissions office as early as possible prior to the intended semester of enrollment to
learn about special admissions criteria. Students who meet admissions criteria are admitted on a
“rolling” basis, beginning September 1 for matriculation for the following academic year.
The application scholarship priority deadline is January 15 to ensure consideration for
scholarships and financial aid.
Unconditional Admission – New Freshman
Applicants are normally granted unconditional admission status if their academic record
demonstrates the following:
1. A minimum of 16 units of high school credit
2. A college-preparatory course of study with:
a) three or four years of English and mathematics
b) two or three years of science and social studies
c) two years of a foreign language (highly recommended)
3. Average or above average grades in English and mathematics
4. A cumulative GPA of 2.25 on a 4.0 scale
5. Composite ACT – 17 or Combined SAT I – 810
6. PGPA (Predictive Grade Point Average) – 43
(PGPA = High School GPA x 10) + ACT Composite Score
Conditional Admission/The Bridge Program
Applicants with high school records or test scores that do not meet all unconditional admission
standards are reviewed individually by the Admissions Committee, and may be granted admission
if there is other evidence of academic promise that shows the determination and discipline
needed to succeed in college. Such students are required to participate in the Bridge Program.
They will have special advising and may register for no more than 15 credit hours including the
Bridge course, Academics 101. Students admitted who do not meet the specified sub-scores on
the ACT or SAT I test will be required to take additional preparatory courses during the freshman
year. These courses give the necessary background in English and mathematics to do college-level
work. For details see the descriptions of English 102 and Mathematics 100/101 in the Academic
Offerings section of the Catalog.
