Applicants who are admitted to the university but fail to satisfy the College Preparatory Curriculum requirements for English or mathematics will be required to take the Collegiate Placement Exam (CPE, see below) and will be placed according to the results. Applicants who are admitted to the university but fail to satisfy the College Preparatory Curriculum requirements for science, social science, or foreign language will be required to complete, with a grade of C or better, at least one college course in each area of deficiency within the first 30 semester hours earned. In the case of students who have completed no high school foreign language course, two college courses in the same foreign language will be required, with a grade of C or better in each. No credit earned in these courses will be applied to the requirements of the university degree.
In the determination of eligibility for freshmen admissions, the most important consideration is the Freshman Index. The Freshman Index is determined by a formula which uses two variables: the high school average computed on academic courses, and the SAT (or ACT) scores. The following formula is used:
SAT Verbal + SAT Math + (High School Academic GPA x 500) = Freshman Index
Regular Admission: For regular freshman admission, specific requirements are as follows:
Freshman Index > 1830
SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+ or
comparable ACT scores. (Original SAT Verbal of 350+; Math of 350+)
College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC), 12 units, must have been completed
in high school
