Although neither the American College Test (ACT) nor the Scholastic Aptitude Test is required of Life Enrichment applicants, the Collegiate Placement Examination (CPE) will be required for admission consideration. The applicant will be admitted, placed in Learning Support, or denied admission to the university based on the results of the exam. If accepted, the student shall complete any Learning Support requirements indicated. Students who fail to meet the Life Enrichment admissions criteria may be required to submit SAT or ACT scores.

If life enrichment students can provide official SAT verbal > 500 and SAT math > 500 from a test administration within the last 7 years (or equivalent ACT scores), the CPE test can be waived.

Joint Enrollment Admission Requirements for High School Students: A qualified high school student may enroll for college courses while completing his or her enrollment in high school as a junior or senior. This type of enrollment is primarily designed to provide the opportunity to take courses not available in the high school curriculum. To be eligible for admission consideration, the student must have completed the sophomore year of high school and have:

  1. an overall 3.00 high school average in all academic courses completed
  2. a combined SAT score of 1100 or higher (or equivalent ACT score), including a minimum Verbal score of 490 and Math score of 530, to take those respective courses.
  3. a written recommendation from the high school principal or counsellor
  4. a letter of consent from the parent or legal guardian
  5. a personal interview with a university admissions officer
If the SAT verbal score is 490 and the math score is 530, a student accepted into this program will be permitted to enroll in any course for which he or she is prepared.

Transfer Student Admissions Requirements

An applicant who has previously attended a regionally accredited institution of higher education and who is not classified as a Life Enrichment student is considered a transfer student. Transfer students are divided into three categories as listed below for regular admission:

  1. Fewer than 30 transferable semester hours: Meet prevailing freshman admissions requirements.
  2. At least 30 transferable semester hours but not 24 semester hours of transferable core curriculum credit (Areas A-E): Take the CPE. Students who have completed the equivalent of English 1101 with a C or better will be exempt from the verbal sections of the CPE (English and Reading). Students who have earned credit for College Algebra or Mathematical Modeling will be exempt from the mathematics section.
  3. 30 tansferrable semester hours: College Composition I and either College Algebra or Mathematical Modelling. These students must have at least a a 2.0 or greater for non-probationary entrance. All others will be reviewed for possible entrance into Augusta State University on probation, or University College.
