On Campus Dual Enrollment Opportunities

Eligibility

A candidate for admission to this program is considered on the basis of academic preparation including high school academic record, character, and ACT, SAT or other nationally normed standardized test scores in absence of an ACT or SAT score. The Aquinas College Admissions Office evaluates each application individually and reserves the right to accept or deny students into the dual enrollment program on a case-by-case basis.
