A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 is required for all college-level and a 3.0 GPA for all high school-level applicants in order to apply to the program. Applications will not be considered for students not meeting the minimum GPA requirement.

Students must also complete any Basic Algebra Courses required by placement testing (ALEKS or Accuplacer) through Basic Algebra II. Students not having completed the Math prerequisites will not be considered for the program.

If no prescription math courses are needed, students are encouraged to take their college-level Kent Core math course prior to beginning the program.

Students must successfully complete any prescribed English or Reading courses based on ACT or accuplacer assessment scores. These courses include ENG 01001, RC 00003, and/or RC 00006.
