A high school student who attends an accredited high school is eligible for early admission if he or she meets all of the following criteria:
 |
The student has successfully completed the 10 th grade; |
|
The student provides a certification form the local principal and/or his or her designee certifying that the student has a minimum cumulative “B” average and recommends the student be admitted under the policy; |
|
The student may enroll only in postsecondary courses for which high school prerequisites have been completed. (For example, student may not take English Composition until all required high school English courses have been completed.) |
|
The student may enroll only in postsecondary courses for which high school prerequisites have been completed. (For example, students may not take English Composition until all required high school English courses have been completed.) |
An accelerated student must submit or have on file the accelerated recommendation form prior to registration.
The accelerated high school student is admitted on a “conditional” status. The conditional status remains in effect and official college credit cannot be granted until the student fulfills the general admissions requirements (i.e. diploma from an approved accredited high school, GED, or diploma from a non-accredited high school and required ACT or SAT scores) for a course creditable toward an associate degree. The accelerated high school student's transcript will read ADMITTED ON A CONDITIONAL STATUS PENDING THE RECEIPT OF DIPLOMA FROM ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL, GED, OR THE REQUIRED ACT OR SAT SCORES. Transcripts released prior to receiving the required admissions credentials will be stamped “CONDITIONAL CREDIT.” The notation will be removed from the transcript only upon receipt of the required admissions records.
Exceptions
Exceptions may be granted by the Chancellor for a student documented as gifted and talented according to the standards included in the State Plan of Exceptional Children and Youth. Exceptions apply only to the first and third requirements.
A high school student who attends a non-accredited high school is eligible for early admission if he or she meets all three of the above criteria and provides a minimum ACT score of 16 or the equivalent score on the SAT.
