Enrollment Criteria

Individuals must first be admitted to the University and indicate the desire to enter into the Automotive Technology program. Those individuals will be admitted into the Automotive Technology Applicant Pool. There is no separate application needed. Depending on space availability and rank within the applicant pool, individuals will be automatically switched from the Automotive Technology Applicant Pool to the Automotive Technology program according to the timeline listed below. Freshmen applicants will be evaluated on a combination of ACT score, high school grade point average, and date of admission into the applicant pool. Transfer students and change of major applicants will be evaluated on grade point average and date of admission into the applicant pool.

Individuals selected for acceptance into the Automotive Technology program will be notified shortly after the selection date. Individuals not selected will remain in the Automotive Technology Applicant Pool and will be automatically reevaluated as selective admission criteria change. When the Automotive Technology program has reached capacity for freshmen and transfer students, those individuals who remain in the Automotive Technology Applicant Pool will be notified of their options.
