Admission Evaluation Process
Verification of receipt of Bachelor’s Degree prior to admit term: official transcripts
GPA verification for Master’s, Credential, and 2nd BA/BS programs (2.5 Cumulative)

No GPA calculation is required/completed for applicants with Graduate degrees
Professional and community college coursework completed after the first bachelor’s degree is not counted in the GPA calculation
GPA is calculated by dividing the total quality points by the total grade point hours. QP/GPH= GPA

Does not have Bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, from a regionally accredited institution
