Purpose  \n1.1 Commonwealth University is committed to applying a consistent and fair admissions policy and promoting a safe and secure learning environment for all members of the university community. This policy is intended to establish undergraduate admissions guidelines applicable across all locations.  \n2. Scope  \n2.1 The policy will apply to all new undergraduate applicants to the university including first year, transfer, readmit, international, non-degree, and certificate seeking students.  \n3. Definitions, Roles and Responsibilities  \n3.1. First Year Applicants: Graduates of, or seniors in, accredited secondary schools or have earned a secondary school equivalency (like a GED) as determined by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the appropriate state agency, or homeschoolers accreditation agency.  \n3.2. Early Start Students: Students who do not meet traditional admission criteria may be admitted through an early start enrichment program where special assistance in tutoring and counseling is given to address specific academic, financial and/or social problems. For example, a student may have a low overall GPA, but has shown improvement each academic year.  \n3.3. Transfer Applicants: An applicant who completed a high school diploma or GED and at least 12 credits at another post-secondary institution after high school.  \n3.4. Readmit Applicants: Student’s applying for admissions who have previously attended Commonwealth University in a degree seeking program and fail to enroll for any academic semester.  \n3.5. International Applicants: International applicants are students who are not U.S. citizens, nor hold a green card. International students may apply as a first-year, transfer, graduate, second degree, or as a visiting student.  \n3.6. Non-degree Seeking Applicants: Students interested in taking courses but not completing a degree.  \n4. Roles and Responsibilities  \n4.1. The Office of Admissions will be responsible for adhering to the guidelines established herein.  \n5. Policy  \n5.1 First Year Degree Seeking  \nAdmission to Commonwealth University is determined by the applicant's academic and personal qualifications. Decisions are reached without regard to race, age, religion, national origin, gender, or disability.  \nStudents should be enrolled in college preparatory level courses in high school. Alternative educational preparation can be considered including, but not limited to experiential learning, career and technical training, or other appropriate pathways.  \nAcceptance is determined by the Office of Admissions after an evaluation of secondary school preparation, SAT/ACT test scores (if submitted), personal statement or interview, personal conduct or dispositions, and institutional capacity. Submitting SAT and/or ACT is optional for first year applicants. Students still have the option to submit test scores (SAT/ACT) if they choose, but they will not be penalized in any way for not submitting scores.  \nAcceptance is tentative and may be revoked based on an evaluation of academic credentials which show work in progress and/or personal conduct. Final admission is decided after complete transcripts have been received and evaluated. Some academic programs may have additional requirements, including standardized test scores.  \n5.2. Early Start Students  \nApplicants must be graduates of, or seniors in, accredited secondary schools or must have a secondary school equivalency (like a GED) as determined by the Credentials Evaluation Division of the appropriate state agency, or Homeschoolers Accreditation Agency. Nontraditional criteria are applied in estimating an applicant's potential when it appears that the environmental background may have adversely affected grades and/or standardized test scores.
