C. Proof of secondary school graduation or
equivalent:
1) An official transcript of secondary school
credits showing evidence of graduation from an accredited secondary school with
an academic or vocational diploma.
2) Official General Education Development (GED)
scores. Students who would have
graduated within the previous 5 (five) years must also submit an official
transcript of secondary school credits up to the point that they withdrew. Students who have taken the GED will be
reviewed for admission on an individual basis by the Assistant Director for Admissions
and Records.
3) Home schooled students must submit a portfolio
of secondary school work or appropriate SAT II subject exams.
D. A record of scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test from the College Entrance Examination Board or on the ACT Assessment Program from the American College Testing Program that meet the minimum requirements set by the College.

Non-traditional students, those that
have been out of high school at least five years or whose high school class
graduated at least five years ago, are not required to submit SAT/ACT
scores. All freshmen, except for
non-traditional and career program students, will be evaluated for the College
Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) in the areas of English, foreign language,
mathematics, natural science, and social science. In addition to the CPC, a Freshman Index will be calculated for
each student that will be used to determine admission. The
formula for the Freshman Index is 500(HSGPA) + SAT Verbal + SAT Math or
500(HSGPA) + 42(ACT Composite) + 88.
A limited number of admissions may be made for
students not meeting the CPC and/or Freshman Index requirements.
All completed applications received on or before
the institution's published best consideration due date will be processed. The processing of applications received
after the institution's published best consideration due date may be acted upon
at the discretion of the institution.
Information regarding admissions for students
other than U.S. citizens can be found in Policy 402.0505.
