In view of the longstanding and successful service of the Montgomery campus to non-traditional students, beginning freshmen may be admitted to these programs by meeting the following standards:

High School Graduates Under 21 Years of Age

Students who meet the standards for high school graduation and submit an ACT score are granted unconditional admission to the University.

High School Graduates 21 Years of Age or Older

Students in this category must have graduated from high school, with at least a 2.0 GPA, or have earned a GED to qualify for unconditional admission status.

B. Conditional Admission

Conditional admission must be cleared at the campus where conditional admission is granted.

►Troy – Phenix City – Dothan – University College – Distance Learning

Any applicant who does not qualify for unconditional admission may enroll at Troy University as a conditionally admitted student by meeting the following criteria:

If the high school GPA is less than 2.00 (on a 4.00 scale), the applicant must have a minimum composite score of 18 on the ACT or 870 on the SAT – 1.

If the applicant’s composite score on the ACT is less than 18 (but at least 15) or less than 870 on the SAT -1 (but at least 740), he/she must have a cumulative high school GPA of 2.30 (on a 4.00 scale).

The conditionally admitted student will be permitted to carry a maximum course load of 13 semester hours (seven hours per accelerated semester) until 24 hours of Troy University work are attempted. The student will follow a prescribed course of study designed to strengthen basic skills. Specific courses must be taken where weaknesses have been demonstrated.

Conditionally admitted students will be granted unconditional admission status within, or upon completion of, 24 semester credit hours at Troy University with an overall 2.00 GPA. Credits earned by a conditionally admitted student are recorded on the permanent record of the student and will apply, if applicable, toward a regular undergraduate degree program. Any conditional student who fails to attain a 2.00 GPA upon completion of 24 hours attempted at Troy University will be dropped from the program.

►Montgomery

High School Graduates Under 21 Years of Age

Students who do not submit ACT or SAT scores are given conditional admission status. After successfully earning at least a 2.00 GPA on the first 24 hours attempted, including satisfactory completion of COM 1110, students qualify for unconditional admission status.

High School Graduates 21 Year of Age or Older

Students who do not have a high school GPA of at least a 2.00 are given conditional admission status. After successfully earning at least a 2.00 GPA on the first 24 hours attempted, including satisfactory completion of COM 1110, students qualify for unconditional admission status.

A conditionally admitted student whose academic performance results in being dropped from program may appeal for readmission to the University through the campus-specific Conditional Appeals Committee (CAC) where the original conditional admission was granted. A student who transfers to another accredited institution after being dropped from program may also appeal the transfer admission to the University through the campus-specific CAC.

Conditional students who are dropped may appeal for enrollment in the University at the campus of their home location after a period of twelve months from the end of their last term completed at the University. If the student has attempted college credit since leaving the University, the student must first apply for admission through the Admissions Office. Prior to making an admissions decision, the Admissions Office will forward the student’s credentials to the CAC, if appropriate, for an admission recommendation. Conditional students who have not attempted college credit since being “dropped” must appeal directly to the CAC, if appropriate.

If the appeal is approved, the CAC will prepare an Appeal for Enrollment Form wherein requirements for continuing as a conditionally admitted student will be listed. The student and one member of the CAC will sign the form, with one copy retained in the student’s advisement record, one copy sent to Admissions (in the case of a transfer student), and one copy given to the student. The CAC will coordinate the student’s readmission with the campus-specific department that is authorized to readmit students.

If a student’s appeal is denied, the student will be provided a decision in writing, with a copy of this decision entered into the student’s advisement record. A record of this denial will be sent to the Admissions Office if the student is requesting transfer from another accredited institution.

C. Unclassified

Applicants may appeal to the Dean of Enrollment Management, or the appropriate campus designee, for unclassified admission to Troy University. Students attending under unclassified admission status are not eligible for temporary admission and must submit all required documentation prior to completing the first semester (two accelerated semesters or terms), or will not be allowed to enroll in subsequent semesters or terms.

The maximum load for an unclassified student is 13 credit hours (7 hours in an accelerated semester). In the event the final records indicate the student was not eligible for admission, coursework will be changed to audit, whether completed or in progress, and no refunds will be given and no academic credit awarded.

Students admitted under unclassified admission status may move their academic program to any of the campuses of Troy University upon completion of one semester (or two accelerated semesters) with a grade point average of 2.0 or better.
