Day Campus Admissions
Admissions Requirements
Our admission standards are moderately selective. The primary factors considered in the admissions process are overall high school or secondary school performance (grades) and performance on standardized tests such as the ACT or SAT I (test scores). Admission is generally granted to students who rank in the top half of their graduating class or who score at the 50th percentile or above on the ACT, SAT I or GED. Students must also have a cumulative minimum high school grade point average of 2.5.
