  1. A national ACT or an acceptable national predictive model ACT (SAT or PreSAT) instrument that is listed in the Academic Affairs Procedures Handbook. Scoring in the 50th percentile.

Additional Admission and Enrollment Requirements for All Concurrent Students

A high school student admitted under the provisions set forth above may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 18 semester-credit-hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semester-credit-hours during a summer session or term without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer term. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit shall be equivalent to three semester-credit-hours of college work. Students wishing to exceed these limits may petition the selected higher education institution. The appropriate institutional officials will evaluate the student’s academic performance and potential for success in determining the student’s load, which may not exceed the number of semester-credit-hours 50 percent greater than the number of weeks in the applicable semester/term. The college should provide appropriate academic advising prior to and continuing throughout the student’s enrollment.

The completion of the high school curricular requirements as set for new freshman admission shall not be required of concurrently enrolled high school students for purposes of admission. Concurrent students must meet assessment requirements in English, mathematics, science, and reading by obtaining a minimum subject score on the ACT in order to enroll in courses in those subject areas. Concurrent students will not be permitted to enroll in courses outside of those subject areas without meeting the minimum ACT assessment requirement in reading. Institutional secondary assessments are not permitted for concurrent students, and concurrently admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in any zero-level courses offered by colleges and universities designed to remove high school deficiencies.

A high school student concurrently enrolled in college courses may continue concurrent enrollment in subsequent semesters if they achieve a college cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. Following high school graduation, a student who has been concurrently enrolled as a high school student may be admitted to Southeastern or another institution in the State System if the student meets the entrance requirements of the receiving institution, including the high school curriculum requirements, and subject to the State Regents’ retention standards.
