Graduation from high school, or its equivalent, is a prerequisite for admission to the University. Applicants not completing a secondary program, or not having a diploma, will be considered for admission on the basis of the General Education Development (GED) test or other equivalency exam. All applicants are required to successfully complete an assessment examination. This standardized, nationally-normed examination is administered by the University, and is designed to further ensure that the applicant has the skills necessary to pursue a college level program.

Transfer students who are high school graduates or GED holders (or equivalent) that can submit proof of successfully completing a minimum of 36 quarter hours or 24 semester hours of earned college credit at an accredited postsecondary institution will not be required to complete the above referenced examination. Applicants who have completed the ACT with a score of at least 15, or the SAT with a score of at least 700, will not be required to complete the above referenced test. Applicants are informed of their acceptance status shortly after the required information is received and the student’s qualifications are reviewed. Students may apply for entry at any time.
