Step Two

Submit an official copy of your high school *transcript or high school equivalent scores to the Admissions Office. Transcript request forms are available here. Applicants who have completed (with a C or better) a minimum of 12 semester or 18 quarter hours at the postsecondary level may submit official college transcripts in lieu of high school diploma or high school equivalent. All transcripts must be received in a sealed envelope. High school Certificates of Attendance or other certificates, credentials, or documents where the student did not complete all required coursework or testing required for a high school diploma in that state are only recognized for programs not requiring a high school credential or equivalency.

Step Four

Take the Accuplacer placement test, or submit satisfactory SAT or ACT scores. Placement results are valid for a period of 60 months. Official transcripts from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution documenting successful completion (a grade of C or better) in equivalent, program-level English and math courses may be submitted in lieu of taking the placement test. Reasonable accommodations are made during testing for those who need them—please notify the Special Needs Specialist to schedule a test date.
