A lower than required GPA or test score will not automatically disqualify a candidate for admission consideration, but higher GPAs and test scores make you more competitive in the overall selection process.

We strongly encourage students to file the FAFSA at least one month prior to the start date of the program and will need to be completed once per academic year.
