Conditional Admission

Public School Students

In accordance with Act 1290 of 1997 as amended by Act 520 of 1999, students who lack the approved state college core at the time of high school graduation will be admitted to ASU Three Rivers on a conditional status. Students who are admitted conditionally must take 12 hours of general education courses within the first 30 degree hours of enrollment. These hours are in addition to any developmental courses required of the student because of his/her placement scores.
