Pre-College Students
Students who wish to begin college work during the summer after their sophomore year of high school may be admitted for regular college credit under the following conditions:
- have an overall academic average of 3.00 (B) or above in high school;
- choose courses for the summer session in consultation with their high school counselor, principal, and the Provost of the College;
- submit a letter from a high school counselor addressing the student’s ability to do college work; and
- understand that college classes supplement rather than duplicate their total high school program.
Such courses are not expected to apply toward high school graduation nor will they be considered as part of the entrance requirements for regular admission to Martin Methodist College; however, they will apply as credit for those who may subsequently enter Martin Methodist College as regular students. The exception is courses taken through Dual Enrollment, in which juniors and seniors from Giles County High School or Richland High School take college-level courses taught by a Martin Methodist College faculty member on the high school campus or on the MMC Campus. Upon successful completion, the student will receive both credit toward high school graduation and credit on a college transcript.
Early Honors Admission
Highly qualified, mature high school students who have earned at least 12 units of high school credit (college preparatory work is strongly recommended) with a 3.25 grade point average on a 4.00 grading system may apply for early honors admission. Applicants must have taken the ACT or SAT and have unqualified recommendations from their high school officials. Applicants for the early honors admission program must schedule a conference with the Provost, Vice President of Student Affairs, and Director of Admissions before any final disposition can be made concerning acceptance as a first-year or special early honor student.
Students in this program should begin their studies during the summer session, so that both they and the College have an opportunity to evaluate their maturity and degree of preparedness before the beginning of the fall semester.
