from the school principal or headmaster. The letters of recommendation should attest to the candidate’s character, emotional and social maturity, and readiness for college-level work. Students applying for early admission should understand that the aforementioned factors represent minimum requirements. Admission to Flagler after only three years of secondary school is generally discouraged and highly competitive. Arrangements for the awarding of a high school diploma are the student’s responsibility. Admission to Spring Semester For students applying for the spring semester, the Office of Admissions begins notifying applicants on a rolling basis after the fall class has closed, and continues admitting students until the class is filled. Space for the January semester can be quite limited, and students desiring on-campus housing are advised to complete their applications early. Entrance Examinations All applicants are required to submit official test scores from either the SAT or the ACT. In addition to using the results to evaluate applicants for admission, the scores are used in course selection and placement. Applicants will receive no more than 30 semester hours of advanced standing based on AP, AICE, CAPE, CLEP and/or IB tests. Advanced Placement (AP) Students who have participated in the Advanced Placement Program may be eligible for transfer credit or advanced placement at Flagler College. Course credit is generally granted for each AP examination passed with a score of 3, 4, or 5 in courses comparable to Flagler courses and appropriate to the degree program. A score of 3 will not satisfy general education, major, and/or minor course requirements. Students must submit official score reports of the AP examinations. Credit is awarded at the discretion of the College, and students should not assume that credit will be awarded automatically. Students should consult with the Office of Admissions to determine level of placement or the amount of credit to be granted for AP. Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Flagler College will award AICE transfer credit for examination scores of A, B, C, D, and E. Scores of D and E will not satisfy general education, major, and/or minor course requirements. Students are required to forward official AICE examination results to the Office of Admissions. Students should consult with the Office of Admissions or the Office of the Registrar to determine the amount of credit to be granted for AICE examinations. Cambridge International Advanced Level Examinations (A levels) Flagler College considers Cambridge International Advanced Level Examination (A level) credentials for transfer credit or advanced placement. The College reviews and evaluates A Level examinations results on an individual basis in the context of the student’s proposed area of study. The amount of credit and placement are subject to approval by the appropriate academic department. Course credit is generally granted for each A level examination passed with a grade of A, B or C.
