As a non-traditional applicant you should submit the following:

• A complete Application for Admission

  • You may also download a paper application
• The required application fee ($20.00)
  • A credit card is needed to apply on-line

• A complete Certificate of Immunization form
• An official high school transcript or GED score report

Applicants eligible for review in this category are exempt from the SAT/ACT and College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) requirements. However, students admitted in the non-traditional category must take the COMPASS at no charge. Applicants are also required to have an academic GPA of 2.0 (based on all academic courses).
