Admission to Academic Programs Some academic programs have unique requirements. For example, music students must audition for entry to that department.

Students in education and nursing apply for admission to their respective programs during their sophomore year after the program prerequisites have been satisfied. Therefore, sh1dents should review the specific entrance requirements outlined in the respective departmental sections of the catalog. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to an academic program. AcademicEnrichmentProgram The University offers a supplemental academic assistance program to serve students whose academic backgrounds do not reflect their collegiate academic potential. Components of this program include an orientation course entitled Transitions I00, special advising, hitoring when necessary, and diagnostic testing, in some cases. Admission to the academic enrichment program is determined by the admissions committee. Sh1dents selected for this program usually take a typical freshman course of sh1dy comprised of General Education Requirements.
