Examinations are supervised and may be taken at the Department of

student may proctor that student's examinations. No proctor fees are
authorized.
Graduation Criteria
The total number of semester hours which must be earned in order
to qualify for a degree through this program is 130. A maximum of 90
semester hours of non-resident credit may be applied toward graduation
requirements. A minimum of 40 hours must be completed through an
accredited resident program (this includes Extension, Thursday-Only
Classes, and on-line courses). The final 30 semester hours must be earned
through the Department of External Studies or in residence at Lee
University.
Eligibility
Acceptance into the program is determined by using the following
criteria:
1. An application for admission must be completed by all students.
2. An official high school transcript must be mailed directly from the
high school. All students must have achieved a C average on all high
school work or a composite score of 17 or above on the American
College Test, or 745 (Recentered 860) on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test.
3. Students transferring more than 15 semester hours from an accredited
college or university are not required to furnish a high school transcript.
Official college/university transcripts are to be mailed directly
from the institutions to Lee University Department of External
Studies. Transfer students with fewer than sixteen semester hours are
required to submit ACT or SAT test scores. Applicants who have not
already taken the entrance examination (ACT or SAT) will be required
to take it prior to acceptance. The ACT/SAT should be taken on a
national test date. Exceptions to this policy should be forwarded to the
Chairperson of the Department of External Studies for consideration.
4. Required is an advance matriculation fee of $15 (not refundable).
The matriculation fee may be applied to the account of the student
for a period of two semesters following the date of payment.
When the above regulations have been completed, a student will be
notified of his acceptance or rejection. The University may refuse admission
and registration to students not meeting the minimum requirements,
or may admit them on probation for limited work.
