Freshman Admissions Requirements

Normal Freshmen. Every applicant for freshman admission must be a high school graduate from a high school accredited by a regional accrediting association (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) or the Georgia Accrediting Commission, the Georgia Private School Accrediting Commission, the Accrediting Council for Independent Study, or from a public school regulated by a school system and the State Department of Education. 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), 18 units, in high school. The required CPC is listed below (16 units):

English: 4 Units Required
Mathematics: Algebra, 2 Units Required; Geometry, 1 Unit Required; 1
. . . . . additional unit of higher mathematics beyond Algebra II.
Science: 3 Units Required.
Social Science: 3 Units Required.
Foreign Language: The same foreign language, 2 Units Required.

In addition to the specified 16 CPC units, two additional units are required for regular admission.

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 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:

Freshman Index = (GPA x 500) + (ACT Composite x 42) + 88

Regular Admission: For regular freshman admission, specific requirements are as follows:

. . .Freshman Index > 1940
. . .Test Scores: SAT Verbal score of 430+ and a SAT Math score of 400+
or
. . . . . . . . . . . . . ACT English and Mathematics score of >17
. . .College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC): 16 required units plus two
. . .additional units, must have been completed in high school.
