   2. Complete the Transcript Affidavit form. This would allow us to consider your self-reported, cumulative GPA for admission.  An acceptance decision using this form would be considered conditional and would require that an official transcript be sent to us once your school re-opens, prior to the start of classes.

• Based on a student's overall academic performance, they may be selected to apply under one of our opportunity programs such as the Higher Education Opportunity Program and Assisi Scholars Program.  These programs require additional steps in order to be considered for admission.  More information on these programs can be found by visiting our opportunity programs page.
