  • Students must demonstrate readiness for college-level work by meeting all state-established minimum scores for college-level English and mathematics. College level preparedness can be demonstrated by the following minimum scores:

    • SAT: 470 or higher verbal and a 500 or higher math score. If you took the SAT before March 1, 2016, you will need 430 or higher for Evidence-based Reading and 460 or higher in math.

    • ACT: English 18, Math 19 

  • Students (and their guardians) should meet with an advisor or designated staff member to determine eligibility for admission and appropriateness of course selection. The Dean of Student Development (or designee) is responsible for final approval. 

  • The student and the student's parent or guardian must sign the Underage Admission Waiver indicating that they understand the college's expectations.
