ACADEMICALLY
TALENTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (Pre-Freshman)
Academically talented students may be admitted into the Pre-Freshman Program
by having a planned Individual Education Program (IEP). The following criteria
must be met by each applicant.
- Enrollment
recommended as a part of the student's planned Individual Education Program
(IEP) as determined by the multi-disciplinary team
process.
- Certified
to be academically talented or gifted according to the criteria for certification
of intellectually gifted which are contained in the
Tennessee State Department of Education Student Evaluation Manual.
- Have a school
grade point average which is the equivalent of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.
- Must have
fully utilized the school's or school system's courses in the desired area
of study, or must have satisfactorily completed tests
for these courses with a score of 75 or better.
A student who
does not have an IEP may be admitted to the Pre-Freshman Program under all
of the
following criteria:
- A recommendation
from the high school guidance counselor.
- A minimum high school grade point average 3.5 on a 4.0 scale or an ACT composite
score of 25.
Admission
in the Pre-Freshman program will allow enrollment in one course per
semester if seats are available. Exceptions to take
more than one
course may
be made. Please seek permission from the Admissions Office.
College credit will be given for courses that are satisfactorily completed.
This admission
is not available for enrollment in activity or private
instruction courses. A semester grade of "B" or better is expected;
however, a semester review of the student's success will
be performed by the University to
determine whether continued enrollment is allowed. It is
expected that such students
return to their high school for completion of the senior
year and graduation.
