LIMITED ACCESS ADMISSIONS

All applicants who meet the previous criteria are subject to the following process:

Policy:

If there are more applicants meeting the minimum requirements than there are places available in the AT program (16 per class), the applicants will be ranked using a score calculated as follows:

  1. 70% Prerequisite GPA
    Calculation: Prerequisite GPA X 70 = _____points
  2. 25% Last 30 hours GPA
    Calculation: Last 30 hrs GPA X 25= _____ points
  3. 5 % Portfolio review (rubric in development)
    Calculation: Portfolio Score X 5= _____points

Total (sum of 3 categories) = _____points

The 16 applicants with the highest number of points will be offered positions in the class. The other fully qualified students will be placed on a ranked alternate list, based on total points.

Students who have applied by the priority deadline advertised in program publications will always be given open positions prior to those applying after the priority deadline. If there are more than 16 applicants prior to the priority deadline, the rank order process will be used for all priority applicants prior to other applicants being considered.

Students are expected to complete 36 hours of approved general education coursework during the first two years of attendance (see General Education information here). Some coursework can be used to satisfy both general education and common prerequisite requirements.
