The College is open to all members of the Legion of Christ who have entered the candidacy-novitiate program. To be considered for enrollment, applicants must have the credentials and qualifications required by the Admissions Committee.
Since the applicant’s academic record is often a reliable indicator of ability and future performance, grades and test scores are considered carefully, together with evidence that the applicant has the intellectual capacity, maturity, breadth of interest, and seriousness of purpose necessary to succeed academically and benefit from the opportunities offered at the College.
Credentials considered are as follows: the application form, transcripts, test results, recommendations, and personal interviews.
Our racially nondiscriminatory policy is stated here.
A candidate for admission must have completed high school. If there are deficiencies on the student’s high school transcript, he may, with approval, be admitted as an auditor until the required courses have been completed.
Unless a special exception is made by the Dean of Studies, the following is required of each student who wishes to enter:
1. Results of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Entrance Examination Board, (CEEB), results of the ACT, or of a similar standardized test.
2. Results of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and School and College Ability Tests.
3. The Secondary School transcript indicating at least a 2.00 average on a 4.0 scale.
Applications for admission from homeschooled students are welcome. Homeschooled students intending to matriculate into an undergraduate program follow the same application process as traditional students (admissions application, application fee, SAT scores, admissions interview and reading comprehension/writing test).
