Beginning Freshman Admission To apply for admission 1.

3.

4.

Take the ACT or SAT. In addition to their use in admission decisions, subscores are used for course placement in English and math.

Submit the admission application and include the one-time, non-refundable $25 fee.

Request that your high school counselor or principal submit a transcript showing your class rank, cumulative GPA and ACT/SAT scores.

Submit a final transcript showing high school graduation and successful completion of all course work.

High school requirements To be admitted to Southeast, you must complete a minimum of 17 high school units (year-long classes) in the following areas:

English – 4 units (two emphasizing composition or writing skills; one may be speech or debate) Mathematics – 3 units (Algebra I, Algebra II/Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry or Calculus) Social Studies – 3 units (one unit of American history and one semester of government required) Science – 3 units (not including general science; selected from biology, chemistry, physics, botany, zoology or anatomy & physiology; one must be a laboratory course) Visual/Performing Arts – 1 unit (art, dance, music or theatre) Additional – 3 units (foreign language and/or a combination of two or more from the above areas) Converting a high school GPA to a 4.0 scale If your school does not grade on a 4.0 scale, convert your GPA to a 4.0 equivalent by multiplying your GPA by four and dividing that number by the scale your school uses.

For example, if you have a 9.65 GPA on a 11.0 scale, your converted GPA equivalent is 3.5 [(9.65x4)/11=3.50].

Information for students who have earned dual credit Students who have earned dual credit/early college credit in high school should apply as beginning freshman. If the dual credit/early college credit was earned at Southeast, you have already paid the application fee, but you do need to apply for beginning freshman admission and meet the published deadlines to be considered for admission and scholarships.

A first-time freshman applicant is evaluated on ACT/SAT score, high school cumulative GPA, class rank and high school core curriculum courses.

Admission options: X Option 1 – (regular admission) Composite ACT of 21 or SAT combined score (Critical Reading and Math) of 990 or higher, cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher and 17 units of core curriculum X Option 2 – (regular admission) Composite ACT of 18 or SAT combined score (Critical Reading and Math) of 860 or higher, cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher and 17 units of core curriculum

Admission appeals Southeast will conditionally admit a limited number of students on a space available basis who do not meet regular admission criteria. Conditional admission requires a minimum 2.0 cumulative high school GPA, a minimum ACT composite of 18 (SAT combined score of 860) and completion of core curriculum. To be considered for conditional admission, submit a letter of appeal with the admission application. The letter should be addressed to the Admissions Committee and address your readiness to perform academically at the college level. Conditionally admitted students are required to participate in the Academic Enhancement Program (AEP) described below. If you are offered conditional admission, you will receive AEP information and a contract by mail. When the contract is signed and returned to the University, you will receive a letter of admission and orientation, course registration and housing information. The early admission consideration deadline is December 15. Preference will be given to students who apply by this date.

Academic Enhancement Program (conditional admission) The Academic Enhancement Program (AEP) is a conditional admission program that provides additional academic support. Students admitted through this program may enroll as degree-seeking, full-time students but will be limited to 12 credit hours in the first semester. This program connects first-year students to the University’s academic support services.

Students in the program work with an academic coach to identify academic challenges and develop a plan for academic success. During the first semester, students will meet weekly with their academic coach and follow an individual education plan.

Early College Credit/Dual Credit For incoming freshmen, early college credit and dual credit are viable options to get a “head start” toward a Southeast degree. Both early college credit and dual credit classes are accepted at the University. Before making the decision to earn college credit, verify that your credits are both transferable and necessary. First, find out the name of the institution granting the credit, the course name, and the course number of the class you will be taking. Using this information, you can check the transferability of the course to Southeast at www.semo.edu/rl/Registrar/index.asp.

At Southeast, all students are required to take general courses called “University Studies”.

These courses are split into categories; Southeast students are required to complete one course from each category to graduate from Southeast.

You can view a list of University Studies courses at Southeast by category at www.semo.edu/ustudies/handbook/requirements.htm. The best classes to take as early college credit or dual credit are 1) transferable to Southeast and International Baccalaureate (IB) 2) fill a University Studies requirement.

If you have any questions about the transferability of college credit courses, contact the Office of Admissions at 573-651-2590 or admissions@semo.edu.

Advanced Placement Program (AP) Advanced Placement (AP) examinations are given to high school students.

Credit for AP Examinations will be granted for each examination in which a student receives a score of 3 or above. Completion of an AP class in high school does not earn college credit; the examination must be taken and passed to earn college credit. For more information, visit College Board’s Web site at www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html. A complete AP list is available through Testing Services at www.semo.edu/testing/cbe/ap.htm.

For information about additional credit by exam programs including College Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB), DANTES, CPS, and departmental examinations, visit the Testing Services Web site at www.semo.edu/testing/cbe/index.htm.

Testing Services • 573-651-2836 testingservices@semo.edu

Credit is granted for higher-level examination scores of four (4) or higher in all International Baccalaureate subjects. Subsidiary level courses do not receive any credit or advance placement. Please see your guidance counselor to confirm if IB examinations are offered.

A list of accepted IB courses is available through Testing Services: www.semo.edu/testing/cbe/ib.htm.

Our Career Linkages Office provides programming and services to get you oriented, connected and settled into that internship or job.

Here’s how it works.

We think this is the best way for you to make absolutely sure you are doing what you like and making the right choices. We also provide the opportunity for you to change majors if and when you choose to do so. With so many choices there are advantages to starting out as an undecided major. Begin your course work with classes that interest you and explore career options. If you are undecided about a major, then a comprehensive university is the only logical choice. Try out a variety of options before you make that final decision about your career.
