Normal Freshmen. Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high school graduate from a regionally accredited or Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC) recognized secondary school. High school students who receive a "Certificate of Attendance" do not satisfy the graduation requirements. In addition, to gain regular admission to the university, the applicant must have completed the entire College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC), 15 units, in high school. The required CPC is listed below:

English: 4 Units Required Mathematics: Algebra, 2 Units Required; Geometry, 1 Unit Required

(Freshman applicants for 2001 and beyond will be required to have

completed an additional unit of higher mathematics.)
Science: 3 Units Required.
Social Science: 3 Units Required.
Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 Units Required.

In the determination of eligibility for freshmen admissions, the most important consideration is the Freshman Index.

The following formula is used to compute the SAT Freshman Index:

Freshman Index = SAT Verbal + SAT Math + (High School Academic GPA x 500)

For students submitting ACT scores, the following formula is used to compute the ACT Freshman Index:

or
ACT English and Mathematics score of >17 College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC): 15 units, must have been completed in high school.
