Information for GED students
Students who choose to take the General Educational Development (GED) examination will be considered for admission on the basis of their combined GED and the ACT scores. GED scores are converted to a class rank equivalence based on national norms (percentiles) established by the American Council on Education. The class rank equivalence and ACT percentile are then used to determine the student’s eligibility under our published freshman admission requirements.
