Admissions Categories

ASUMH grants admission in the following categories:

Unconditional Admission

Applicants who will be considered for unconditional admission are:

  1. Graduates from accredited high schools, or

  2. Applicants who present passing scores on the General Education Development (GED) tests, or submit a completed home-school transcript.

  3. Students not required to complete CPT classes.

  4. Students transferring from an institution of higher learning who have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or better, have met all state-mandated remediation requirements, and have not been suspended from the last institution attended.  (See: Transfer Student Admissions.)

Conditional Admission

Students not meeting the requirements for unconditional admission may be granted conditional admission by the registrar. Conditions of admission will be specified by and must be met to the satisfaction of the registrar. Students admitted in this category are:

  1. High school graduates or applicants who pass the General Education Development (GED) tests but have not met the mandated minimum area test scores (ACT, SAT, ASSET, or COMPASS) for college-level classes.  (See B under Unconditional Admission)

  2. Transfer students who do not have the 2.00 GPA and/or have not met state-mandated remediation requirements may be admitted conditionally if they are eligible to return to the college most recently attended or if they have been out of school for a fall or spring semester.

All students admitted under conditional admission must enroll in required college preparatory courses during their first 15 hours at ASUMH.  During subsequent enrollment terms, students who were granted conditional admission will be subject to the college's academic probation and suspension policy.  Students required to take two or more college preparatory courses must also take CPT 1023 Learning Skills.

 Non-Degree

Individuals who wish to pursue courses of special interest without submitting academic credentials may register for a maximum of six hours per semester and may accumulate up to twelve semester hours of undergraduate, non-degree credit.  Thereafter, non-degree students must comply with college admission requirements or obtain a written waiver from the Office of the Registrar.  In addition, non-degree students are required to meet all course prerequisites. If the non-degree student plans to register for courses in English or math, he/she must have ACT, SAT, ASSET or COMPASS scores on file before registering.

Courses taken through this program are not applicable toward a degree unless the status is changed to degree-seeking by the student and approved by the registrar.

All statements reflect policies in existence at the time the university's catalog went to press, and the university reserves the right to change policies at anytime without prior notice.
