Special Programs: EARLY ADMISSION PROGRAM

NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but be advised that requirements may have changed since this book was published. Errors may have also been introduced in the conversion to a WWW document. Thus for items of importance, it might be wise to seek confirmation from either the paper version or a live human being.

Under the Early Admission Program, a high school student meeting competitive admission requirements except receipt of a high school diploma may be enrolled in the University after the junior year. This may reduce the length of the combined high school and college education by one year. Although each application is treated as a special admission case, a prospective student must have completed his or her junior year in high school, have earned 15 units toward a high school diploma, be in good academic standing, be recommended by a high school staff member who is able to evaluate the student's work, and meet competitive admission standards. Those accepted in the program are enrolled in regular four-year curricula and treated as first-year students.

A student interested in this program may apply for admission no sooner than January preceding the fall term of planned entry so that the application can include complete information about the student's fall semester. However, application should be completed as soon as possible after January 1.

For complete information, contact the Office of Admissions and Records.
