Summer Provisional Admission

Under certain conditions, a student may qualify for summer provisional admission in the summer immediately following the student's high school graduation. Applicants must:

Be a first-time entering student.
Graduate from an accredited high school or have earned a GED certificate. The GED recipient's high school class must have graduated.
Meet the curriculum requirements.
Have a minimum ACT score of 17 or a minimum high school GPA of 2.50.
Participate in a comprehensive assessment battery. If the need for remedial coursework is indicated, the student would not be admissible under this category.

If accepted, the student must take a minimum of two summer courses in “core academic” disciplines (English, mathematics). If credit has been earned through advanced standing or concurrent enrollment in either introductory college-level English or college algebra or the equivalent, the student may take an additional course in one of these categories: social science (college-level course approved for general education credit), or natural science (college-level introductory lab science course approved for general education credit). During the summer, students in this program will be required to participate in academic support programs to enhance their success, such as academic tutoring, mentoring, career counseling, diagnostic testing, etc. If the student earns at least a “C" or the equivalent (RP – remedial pass), he or she will be admitted in the following fall term. Students who are admitted and enrolled under these criteria will be required to participate in the Drover Achievement Program (DAP).

A provisionally admitted student who does not meet these academic requirements will be unable to enroll for further work at USAO until such time as the student is eligible for regular transfer admission to USAO.
