Students are considered a non-traditional freshman if they will be 25 years of age or older for the term for which they are applying.
A non-traditional first-time undergraduate may be unconditionally admitted to ÿÈÕ´óÈüÍøÕ¾ if the applicant meets all criteria indicated for traditional freshman students. However, ACCUPLACER scores may be used in lieu of ACT, SAT, or CLT scores. Minimum exam scores include the following:
ACCUPLACER – Classic
- Sentence Skills: 83
- Reading: 78
- Elementary Algebra: 77
- Writing: 251

ACT, SAT, or CLT test scores submitted for admission consideration may not be older than five years. ACCUPLACER scores submitted for non-traditional student admission may not be older than two years.
Applicants who have an ACT test sub-score that is less than 15 or the SAT/CLT equivalent in Reading, Mathematics, or English will not be eligible for admission to the university.
