Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment students may begin college work during the summer after their sophomore year of high school under the following conditions:
- Submission of unofficial high school transcript;
- Overall GPA of 3.00 (B) or above;
- Submission of ACT/SAT (English [19] and Math [21] Required);
- A letter from a high school counselor addressing the student’s ability to do college work.
Courses are available for the fall, spring, and summer session in consultation with the high school counselor, principal, and the Provost of the University.
Students should understand that dual enrolled classes supplement rather than duplicate their total high school program.
Students are eligible to take 6 hours per semester as a standard; a cumulative 2.0 college GPA is required to maintain dual enrollment eligibility.
Please refer to the Dual Enrollment Handbook for further details.
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 3.5 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 Chancellor for Enrollment Management and Student Life, and Associate Vice Chancellor of Enrollment & Athletic Recruitment 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 University have an opportunity to evaluate their maturity and degree of preparedness before the beginning of the fall semester.
