Athletes
Prospective NCAA Division I student-athletes are required to submit standardized (ACT/SAT) test scores to the NCAA Eligibility Center for NCAA initial-eligibility purposes.
Homeschooled Students
Homeschooled students applying to 国产AV are expected to meet the same academic standards of other first-year students, with the focus being on college preparation coursework. Homeschool students should submit a transcript as part of their application. Homeschooled students who graduated before spring 2021 and have not attended a college after graduation will be required to self-report their SAT or ACT test scores if the student has taken the test.
If a student doesn鈥檛 have a transcript, they should create one that includes:
- Student鈥檚 name
- Date of birth
- All course work they have taken in grades 9-12
- The assessment used for the homeschool program (A, B, Pass, etc).
国产AV will use the calculated cumulative GPA that is provided on the transcript. Official final high school transcripts are required with a graduation date after the student has completed all of their coursework. If your homeschool program hasn鈥檛 used a GPA scale, the proxy GPA set by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education is 3.3.
Admission-based scholarships are awarded to homeschool students based on first-year scholarship standards. Students can also apply for other institutional aid through the .
Non-graded High School Work
If your high school program does not use a GPA scale, the proxy GPA set by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education is 3.3.
