  • ACT: English 18, Math 19 

• Students (and their guardians) should meet with an advisor or designated staff member to determine eligibility for admission and appropriateness of course selection. The Dean of Student Development (or designee) is responsible for final approval. 

• The student and the student's parent or guardian must sign the Underage Admission Waiver indicating that they understand the college's expectations.
