Students presenting a strong academic record of achievement may be admitted based on work completed after six semesters of high school study. Other candidates may be asked to submit seventh semester transcripts before a final decision is made. All offers of admission are made contingent on the candidate's successful completion of the high school diploma. The Office of Admission reserves the right to rescind offers of admission to students who fail to graduate from high school or maintain acceptable grade point averages. Admission decisions are based primarily on the high school record with particular emphasis placed on grades earned within the context of courses taken.
Clear preference is given to students taking challenging courses.
Counselor and teacher recommendations as well as the student's contributions to the school community are also considered. Students with the appropriate college preparatory record are considered eligible for consideration if they have been able to maintain the grade point average recommended by their high school for college bound students. Students not in college preparatory programs can be offered admission if test results, class rank, and grades show aptitude for college work. Admission to AEP is limited, therefore a campus interview is strongly encouraged. The Success Program assists students in reaching their full academic potential by regularly monitoring academic performance, improving study skills and providing guidance necessary to complete college-level work.
