Candidates for freshman admission should present the High School Transcript and Recommendation Supplement to their guidance officer for completion.

Freshman Applicant Responsibility Applicants for freshman admission must make arrangements with their guidance counselor to have official transcripts recording grades nine through 11 sent directly to the Office of Admissions.

ACT scores, including the writing portion, may be substituted for the SAT I. Test scores appearing on high school transcripts are not considered official. Transfer Applicant Responsibility Applicants for transfer admission must contact the registrar's office at each transfer institution attended (even if credits were not earned) and request that their official records to be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. Your application will not be complete until we receive these records. We do not accept fax transmissions. Individual transcripts from all institutions are required to complete the application even if the most recent college transcript lists all course work that has been taken. Transcripts for course work in progress should also be requested in advance to ensure prompt receipt at the conclusion of the term, and must be received before your course scheduling date. Applicants with fewer than 30 credits completed are also required to submit official SAT I results and complete secondary school transcripts. It is the applicant's responsibility to make certain that all required documents are forwarded to the Office of Admissions.
