First-year applicants are currently completing high school (or equivalent) or in a post graduate year. Applicants with fewer than 12 college credit hours completed after high school graduation are considered First-year applicants.

Transfer applicants must complete two or more semesters of college work (post high school graduation) with at least 12 credit hours to apply. Applicants must submit official transcripts from every college attended as well as a final high school transcript. While SAT or ACT scores are not required, they are strongly encouraged for applicants who have completed fewer than 60 credit hours.
