Table of Contents ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS GENERAL ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATE AND BACCALAUREATE PROGRAMS Hodges University seeks students who desire professional education. Motivation, interest, and career advancement requirements are as equally important as are academic qualifications. The University has arranged its programs to accommodate ambitious students to be successful in their chosen careers. Each applicant is requested to visit the school, meet for a personal interview with one of the University admissions coordinators, and discuss plans and career goals. Applicants interested in taking only online classes are requested to visit the Hodges University website and follow the online student instructions. All applicants for residency classes/programs must have legal status in the United States either by birth, citizenship, or appropriate INS documentation. All applicants for online programs who live in the United States must also have legal status in the United States as stated above. The University reserves the right to deny admission to an applicant when such action is deemed to be in the best interest of the applicant or the University. The University does not accept applicants with a felony record who are registered sexual predators or offenders into its programs of study. Other applicants with a felony record may complete a Felony Conviction Appeal Form which is reviewed by an interdepartmental panel. Once the panel has reviewed the candidate, the panel will determine the candidate’s ability to move forward in the admissions process. A candidate who is denied admission may elect to appeal to the Senior Vice President of Student and Academic Services whose decision is final. Table of Contents APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION After the interview process is complete, an application for admission needs to be filed with the University along with a non-refundable application fee. Official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended prior to applying for admission at Hodges University must be requested and sent to the University as soon as possible so that the admission process will not be delayed. It is the responsibility of the applicant to have all transcripts sent to the Registrar’s Office. Application may be made at any time and applicants will be informed of their acceptance status shortly after all required information is received and the applicant’s qualifications are reviewed. Applicants must self-certify completion of a standard high school diploma or its equivalent. If other documents required for enrollment are not available at the time of application, students may be accepted for one term to allow time for receipt of official transcripts from each college attended, CLEP scores, and other required documents. If official transcripts are received from a college or university that indicates successful completion of an associate degree with 60+ transferable credits, this degree may fulfill the requirement of a high school diploma. If all documentation is not provided prior to the student’s second semester, unless there are extreme mitigating circumstances, the student will not be permitted to continue until all documents are received and admissions requirements are met in full. Course work completed satisfactorily during the interim will count toward graduation. Table of Contents ASSESSMENT EXAMINATION All students making application to enter Hodges University will be required to complete an assessment examination if they have not successfully completed a college-level English and mathematics course from an accredited institution within the last five years with a grade of C or better, completed the SAT or ACT within the last five years, or provide proof of at least an associate degree or its equivalent from an accredited institution. The assessment examinations include SAT scores of 450 in Critical Reading, 450 in math; ACT scores of 17 in English, 18 in reading, 19 in math; or HU Skills Inventory scores of 40 in language, 24 in math, with an overall score of 70. Students scoring less than 40 in language or less than 24 in math but with an overall score of 70 or better on the HU Skills Inventory will be required to take ENG0991 and/or ENG0992 and/or MAT0998. Students who are non-native speakers may elect to take Intensive English Prep IEP0001 and/or IEP0002 instead of ENG0991 and/or ENG0992. These courses will not be used to fulfill graduation requirements. Students who score a 36-39 in language may enroll in EPP0000 and/or students who score a 21-23 in math may enroll in MPP0000 prior to enrollment. These courses provide intensive
