								Policy
For admission to BGSU Firelands a
				freshman applicant must:
(1)
									Be a graduate of a senior high school approved or
			 accredited by the department of education of the state in which it is located;
			 or
(2)
									If the student completed secondary education through an
			 alternative program such as home schooling, present ACT or SAT test results
			 showing at least a 21 ACT or 1000 SAT; or
(3)
									Have earned high
			 school equivalency through the general educational development (GED) testing
			 program (issued by the state department of education); or
(4)
									Present an
			 international baccalaureate diploma or certificate.
Although the largest number of new
				students enters in August, it is possible to enter in the spring semester or
				the summer term. All admission credentials should be received by the office of
				admissions fourteen days before the semester or the summer session to allow
				sufficient time for processing, notification, academic advising, and
				registration for classes. High school students are encouraged to apply for
				admission beginning April fifteenth of their junior year.
Application materials for BGSU
				Firelands are available online at
www.firelands.bgsu.edu
or by contacting the office of admissions, BGSU Firelands,
				Huron, OH 44839. To be considered for admission, applicants are required to
				submit the application for undergraduate admission, a forty dollars non
				refundable application fee, and official transcripts. All transcripts, test
				results, and other academic credentials must be mailed from the school or
				agency to the office of admissions to be accepted as official. Personal copies
				of official transcripts will be evaluated for acceptability. If deemed
				unacceptable, students must provide official copies sent directly from the
				school.
All admission credentials submitted to
				the office of admissions become the property of Bowling Green state university
				and cannot be returned. Any misrepresentation of credentials will be cause for
				refusal or cancellation of admission or expulsion from the university if
				discovered subsequently.
Applicants who have already graduated
				from high school may send their completed application and application fee
				directly to the office of admissions. An official final high school transcript
				should be sent from the high school to the office of admissions.
Applicants who have earned high school
				equivalency through the general education development (GED) testing program
				should send their completed applications and application fee directly to the
				office of admissions. Both an official copy of the GED results and an official
				high school transcript of all work completed must be sent to the office of
				admissions.
Applicants may fulfill the requirements
				for admission by presenting an International baccalaureate diploma or
				certificate. Grades of four through seven in higher-level subjects may be
				considered for individual course credit. Students with questions about the IB
				should contact the office of admissions.
All applicants who have been charged
				with, pled guilty to or convicted of one or more felonies are required to
				submit copies of police reports, including narratives and the final judgment
				entries for each offense to the office of admissions. These documents are
				reviewed, and if an offense is of a violent nature, that information is
				forwarded and reviewed by a committee of the BG campus to determine if the
				applicant is eligible to take classes on the BGSU Firelands
				campus.
All non-native speakers of English are
				required to take the TOEFL test, or if unavailable, the Michigan test. This is
				required of international students issued immigrant visas, those transferring
				from another American college or university, those (with English as a foreign
				language) coming from U.S. territories (such as Puerto Rico), and those granted
				U.S. citizenship within recent years.
For residency requirements for Ohio
				residents and nonresidents, refer to residency regulations under office of
				registration and records.
A student who is applying to BGSU
				Firelands and does not meet the above requirements and who has not attended
				another college or university for one or more years will be admissible under
				our forgiveness policy.
