Admission requirements, including admission to advanced standing, for entrance into the university shall be adopted by the board of trustees upon recommendation of the appropriate faculty and the approval of the university senate.
3335-9-04 Specific admission requirements.
(A) Undergraduate student. For admission as a regular undergraduate student, an applicant must be a graduate of a high school (or equivalent preparatory school), or must have passed equivalent entrance examinations. For unconditional admission the applicant must present a minimum of fifteen high school units distributed in accordance with a preparatory curriculum approved by the university faculty and must meet the special requirements of the college or school the applicant desires to enter, subject to such deficiencies (or conditions) as that college or school may permit (see also rule 3335-9-24 of the Administrative Code). The preparatory curriculum is not required for the unconditional admission of regular undergraduate students with high school graduation five or more years prior to the first quarter of enrollment.
For admission as a special undergraduate student, an applicant must satisfy the executive vice president and provost, or designee, that the applicant is qualified to undertake the special program desired.
(B) Graduate student. An applicant must meet the admission criteria established by the research and graduate council. All applicants must specify a field of specialization.
(C) Professional student. An applicant for admission as a regular or special student in a professional program must meet the pre-professional requirements of the school, college or division of a college the applicant desires to enter. If the applicant does not meet the pre-professional requirements, the applicant may be admitted subject to such deficiencies (or conditions) as that school, college or division of a college may permit.
(D) Transient student. To be considered for admission as a transient student, the applicant must present a brief, definite program endorsed by the president or dean of the student's university or college. Where this and all other pertinent matters are satisfactory to the director of admissions, the applicant may be admitted unless there is objection by the college, school or division of which the applicant seeks admission.
