Provisional Students

Freshmen applicants graduating below the top 40% are granted provisional admission for a single semester with a minimum of 920 Redesigned SAT total (840 total on the SAT Critical Reading and Math sections for test taken prior to March 2016) or a minimum of 17 composite on the ACT. Provisional students are encouraged to participate in academic support programs, such as tutoring, supplemental instruction, and academic advising to establish good academic standing. 

Applicants may petition to have their academic credentials reviewed by the Undergraduate Admissions Committee for a single semester conditional admission. Required documentation, including the Applicant Review Form, must be submitted to the Office of Admissions no later than two weeks prior to the start of the semester. It may be obtained at the Office of Admissions or online.
