| Limited Admission: Freshman applicants who show potential but fail to satisfy any one of
the requirements above may be eligible for limited admission if they meet the following criteria listed
below:
Freshman applicants who show potential but fail to satisfy any one of the requirements above will be
required to take a diagnostic examination at the university, the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE).
The Office of Admissions will notify the applicant by mail as to the specific date and time of the College
Placement Examination. If this examination indicates the applicant does not have adequate preparation
for regular admission to the university, he or she will be offered admission into the Department of
Learning Support, unless the diagnostic testing indicated the applicant will not be benefitted by the
Program, in which case the student will be denied. If, after one academic semester has passed, the
applicant can document attempts to improve his or her academic skills, he or she may be reconsidered
for admission.
University College is a two-year unit of Augusta State University designed to assist Georgia students
who live within a fifty mile radius but do not meet the admissions requirements for the university.
Applicants who do not meet regular admissions standards will be reviewed for consideration for
admission to University College. To be considered for admission, the student must have either 11
college preparatory units and a freshman index equal to or greater than 1400 or a freshman index below
1500 and 11 or more college preparatory courses.
PLEASE NOTE: We use the re-centered scale of the SAT to determine whether students meet the
minimum admissions requirements. All original SAT scores received will be converted to the
re-centered scale.
Advanced Placement: A qualified student who has taken college-level work in secondary schools may
receive academic credit. Examinations used to determine advanced placement are the Advanced
Placement Test of the College Entrance Examination Board and The Achievement Tests in English
Composition and Intermediate Mathematics (Level 1). A final determination of credit is made after results
have been evaluated by the university.
Credit by Examination: College credits are traditionally earned through atten dance in scheduled classes.
However, some courses are amenable to credit by examination.
