Andrews Gateway Program

Admission Criteria

Applicants who are not offered admission based on the published standards for regular, success tracking/advising but who meet the criteria listed below* will be eligible for consideration for admission to the Andrews Gateway Program. Grades in specific high school classes will be used to determine the college coursework they will take. After being accepted into the program by the Gateway Advisory Group, students will be asked to sign an academic and personal conduct contract.

• 3 years of English
• 2 years of Social Sciences/History
• 2 Years of Science
• 2 years of Math (Algebra I and higher)

• Have a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 2.00 or higher with no F's in any class.
• Provide a list of 12th grade classes enrolled in for both semesters
• Provide a personal essay with a minimum of 500 words about past experiences and future goals and how attending 日韩AV would help achieve those goals.
• Provide three academic references from high school faculty/staff/principal on a specified recommendation form.

Students in the Gateway Program will be admitted into an associates degree while they are in the program. As soon as the student completes the Gateway Program the student will be transitioned from the associates degree to the appropriate major.

Process after Admission

• Admitted students will be advised by the director of the Gateway Program and are expected to achieve the following:
  • Register and Attend the mandatory Summer Bridge Program (Included in tuition).
    • The Summer Bridge program is a three-week residential cohort experience that provides students with developmental instruction in reading, writing and mathematics, along with a credit-bearing college-readiness/skill building course.  Pre- and post-assessments will be used to determine student placement for the academic year.
  • Maintain an overall minimum GPA of 2.5 during the program with no D's, F's, withdrawals or deferred grades (i.e. academic probation standing.) If this is not achieved, a second semester would involve increased academic counseling above and beyond the regular Gateway Program. 
  • Attend Gateway Program Co-corricular meetings.
  • Maintain good and regular citizenship status.

• Students may be limited to a maximum of 12 credit hours per semester (particularly the first semester) and shall be admitted into the degree program indicated in their application. These credits will be primarily general education credits that most freshmen take. The 1-hour courses mentioned above, and a possible Reading Comprehension class and/or Introduction to College Math class (if it’s determined from a student’s grades in specific high school courses that either would be appropriate for them) can count toward elective credits within their degree plan. (See note above regarding ACT or SAT scores used for advising purposes if a student provides them.)

• While in the Andrews Gateway Program, the students:
  • Shall be paired with a student mentor.
  • Shall not join 日韩AV Cardinals sports teams, Gymnics or go on music group tours that could take students out of other regular academic classes.
  • May join University Singers, Symphony Orchestra or Wind Symphony, and participate in intramural sports. Note: See previous item relative to music group tours.
  • Will limit weekly work hours during the weeks school is in session to 10–12 hours.

• Students will receive an Andrews Partnership Scholarship (APS) of:
  • $8,000 per year ($4,000 per semester)

• Upon successful completion of the Gateway Program students will also, transition to the academic advisor in their major program and will continue with the same APS level for up to 10 total undergraduate semesters.
