        Applicants who do not graduate from high school must submit qualifying scores on a state-approved high school equivalency examination, transcript which denotes academic performance. The Seminary recognizes General Education Development (GED Testing Service).

The original admissions documents will be collected by the Extensions’ Administrative Assistant and mailed to the Official Registrar, located at the Main Campus with seven days of receipt.

Students who do not meet the requirements for admissions will be invited to enroll in Academic Develop I, a semester-long remediation program to address the student’s deficiencies to include the subjects English, Reading, and Mathematics. Upon successful completion of these subjects, the student will be guided to take or retake the General Education Development Test and/or ACT examination to achieve an acceptable entry score. Those who receive an acceptable entry-level score after retaking the General Education Development Test and/or ACT will be allowed to enroll in a regular academic program as a freshman, but are eligible to participate in the Academic Support Program for the remainder of their Freshman year. The Academic Development I and II remediation courses in English, Reading, and Mathematics are intensive and will not be included as credits toward graduation. Another semester-long Academic Support Program, Academic Development II is required for students who score 14 – 16 on the ACT and will include classroom, individual, career counseling, and computer-assisted instruction.  

Those who fail to make an acceptable entry-level score following the semester-long remediation, will not be allowed to enroll until the student can meet the required entry-level requirements.
