What if I do not meet the 2.80 requirement?
If you do not meet the 2.80 requirement, there is an alternative admission standard which is based on your performance in the proficiency, unique, and lower division courses which may be used.
8 POINT FORMULA ADMISSION
Students who do not meet the 2.8 gpa requirement may be admitted based on an "8 Point" formula. This formula considers the cumulative combined gpa and the gpa earned in the following ten courses:
| Communication Skills | Unique | Lower Division |
| ENGLISH 101 English | MATH 143 Finite | ACCOUNT 244 Intro Financial Actg. |
| ENGLISH 102 English | ECON 201 Micro | ACCOUNT 249/261 |
| COMM 110 Speech | ECON 202 Macro | ECON 245 Business Statistics |
| *ITBE 280 Intro Info Systems |
*Required for fall 2007 incoming freshmen, & fall 2008 transfer students.
The computation is: (2 x combined gpa) + gpa in these 10 courses = ________. If the result is 8 or more, the student will be admitted. This computation is not done until the end of the semester in which the student applies.
Pre-Business students may repeat for "No Credit," a maximum of three Business and Economics classes in which grades of "C" were earned to meet this 8 Point criterion. The new grade will not replace the "C," but will be used by the College to determine eligibility for admission. It will not raise the official combined GPA. Athletes, veterans, and students receiving financial aid who use this repeat option should check if their eligibility would be affected.
