 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION PROVISIONAL ADMISSION There are three types of Provisional Admission to the university. The programs are listed below. 1. Comprehensive Achievement Program (CAP) The Comprehensive Achievement Program is a provisional enrollment
program designed to increase the success rate of certain new students
by providing additional support and assistance in the first year
of college. Students who do not meet standards for regular University
freshman admission, but who show strong potential for success,
may be recommended for this program. Students in the Comprehensive Achievement Program sign a Pledge
of Intent to enroll in and successfully complete a minimum of
24 academic credits with a 2.0 GPA by the end of their first year
(12 months) of enrollment. After meeting these requirements, a
student's enrollment status will no longer be provisional, and
he or she will be fully admitted to the University. Students are required to complete University Life during the first
semester of enrollment. If the grade received is not at least
a C, then the course must be retaken the next semester that it
is offered and completed with at least a C. They must also enroll
in the appropriate math and English courses each semester (exclusive
of summer terms). CAP students are encouraged to meet regularly
with their academic advisers, study two to three hours for each
one hour spent in class, limit their employment to no more than
16-20 hours per week, and attend classes regularly. A variety
of resources, such as the Tutoring Center, Counseling and Testing
Center, Mathematics Lab, and Writing Center, are available to
assist students in excelling academically. The appeals policy for the Comprehensive Achievement Program (CAP)
is on file in the Office of Provisional Programs. 2. Course Deficiency: First-time freshmen who are missing one
required high school course, provided it is not in English or
math, may be admitted to the university on a provisional basis.
Students must successfully complete a college course in the area
in which they are deficient during the summer session prior to
their first semester of enrollment or during their first year
of attendance. Students missing more than one required course
will not be admitted. 3. Students may also be admitted through the Admissions Appeals process. Students who are denied admission to the University must write a letter of appeal to the committee. The committee meets monthly. |
