HOW DO YOU APPLY?
All students must complete an admissions application prior to course registration.

Please have the high school guidance office of the school attended send a transcript record of high school courses and grades directly to the College.  If a high school equivalence diploma is held, please submit an official record of the scores.
2.
Prior to registration at Garrett College, students are given placement indicators in reading, writing, and mathematics.  Students identified by placement indicators as needing additional preparation for college-level courses will be required to take the prescribed pre-college level courses.  Some of these courses may be taken concurrently with an academic program. Students will be assisted by an advisor in making this determination.
3.
ACT and SAT scores, if available, should be sent to the College.  They are not used as an admissions' requirement.  The College's ACT number is 1695.  The SAT number is 5279. ACT and SAT testing centers and dates of tests are available from the College or from the high school guidance offices.
4.
Students who have achieved an ACT verbal score of 21 and/or an ACT math score of 21 will be exempt from Garrett placement indicators with the exception of the writing sample. Similarly, students who have taken SAT tests and have earned a verbal score of 550 and/or a math score of 550 will be exempt from Garrett placement tests with the exception of the writing sample.
