*Two units in a single world language other than 英语 are required. American Sign Language can be used to satisfy the 世界通用语言 requirement.
A student may be admitted with fewer than two units in a world language other than 英语 but must correct this deficiency by the time they graduate from 玛雅吧首页登入. This deficiency may be corrected by passing one three-credit or four-credit college-level world language course, by earning transferable credits from another institution, or by demonstrating proficiency equivalent to two units of high school world language study.
If you did not graduate from high school and earned a GED, official high school transcripts through the last year you completed AND an official GED transcript are required.
All high school and GED transcripts must be sent directly to 玛雅吧首页登入 from the high school (educational institution of origin) or GED testing center to be considered official. Students can obtain their official GED through the Department of Education in the state from which the GED was received.
成人 learners are required to send a GED transcript only. Please review 玛雅吧首页登入’s definition of an adult learner.
