Types of Admission Regular Admission Each applicant’s record is examined for evidence reflecting potential for intellectual and social growth, strength of character, and seriousness of purpose. These qualities are evaluated by considering each applicant’s academic record, including: graduation from a high school or submission of proof of having passed a high school equivalency test, high school grade-point average, the curriculum taken in high school as it relates to the applicant’s further educational or career objectives, scores on the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT), and optional references. In addition to these considerations, the University may choose to examine further any applicant by the use of psychological, achievement or aptitude tests, and a personal interview. Foundational Admission Depending on individual circumstances, the University may admit a limited number of applicants who do not meet regular admission standards. Foundationally admitted students will be reviewed for appropriate placement in math and English. If indicated by testing, the student may take preparatory courses which do not count toward the degree but prepare the student for further coursework. Foundationally students also take a specialized first year experience course in the fall semester and participate in additional academic support activities in spring semester. Course loads are restricted during the first academic year.
