Applicants with a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) are also reviewed by our Admissions Review Committee. You will be asked to submit your official transcripts (if any), official copy of your GED, and a personal statement. The committee will evaluate your level of academic preparedness for college and readiness to be a student, and determine your eligibility based on these factors.
