You should still apply for admission even if your GPA or ACT don't meet automatic admission standards. Your application will be reviewed by a committee that will look at all relevant information to make their admission decision.
Students over 25 aren't required to submit an ACT or SAT score.
Provisional Admission
Students may be admitted on a provisional basis. They will be limited to 15 credits in their first semester and must participate in expanded academic advisement, plus a course in study skills or University Life. This policy is meant to provide adequate support to students to help them succeed.
