First Time in College (FTIAC)

High school graduates with 15 or fewer credit hours of college or university credit are required to meet the following criteria for unconditional admission to Rochester University: a minimum 2.25 cumulative high school GPA and a minimum ACT composite score of 18 or new SAT score (effective March 2016) of 940. Additional consideration may be given to component scores on each test. Students who did not graduate from high school may be admitted unconditionally if they earned a minimum GED score of 680 with no single test below 170 (GED scores prior to 2014 must be at least 2250 with no single test below 410) and meet the minimum ACT or SAT score.
