Admission Procedure for Freshmen A freshman is defined as one who has graduated from high school and has never been enrolled in a post secondary institution after the date of high school graduation. Some freshmen may take advanced placement courses or complete college-level classes during high school and before high school graduation. It is recommended that applicants complete four years of English, three years of Math and Social Studies, and two years of science and a foreign language. In some cases, applicants whose records or test scores do not meet the standard for admission may be admitted with a provisional acceptance. To assist students through the enrollment process, each student is assigned an Admissions Counselor. If your questions are not answered in this catalog, you can e-mail admissions@corban.edu or call 503.375.7005 or 800.845.3005. 1.
