College Entrance Requirements

Saint Francis High School is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Western Catholic Education Association. This means that credits earned at Saint Francis High School are acceptable for admissions purposes at any college or university in the United States. However, a diploma from Saint Francis High School does not automatically guarantee admission to any college or university. Acceptance depends upon many things: whether or not a student meets basic entrance requirements in the subjects taken in high school, the level of scholastic achievement, or SAT or ACT scores; whether or not a student meets requirements regarding participation in school activities and personal character; and whether or not a student has met filing and application deadlines.

In order to be accepted into the college of his or her choice, it is important that a student begin planning early in order to be sure to meet all subject requirements and participation requirements. The following pages outline course requirements for a variety of types of colleges and universities. A student desiring to attend a particular college, however, should examine the admission requirements of that school and seek advice from teachers, parents and guidance counselors before the senior year.
