Procedures
for Admission
The prospective student will submit to the registrar her
completed application form, a transcript of all high school work, a
college transcript if she has taken college courses, and the
immunization records (MMR) required by the State of New Jersey.
(A student born prior to 1957 is exempt from the immunization
requirement.) Resident international students follow a more
detailed policy for admission. |
The
academic dean evaluates college transcripts to determine which
courses may be accepted toward a degree from ACS.
To qualify, courses must fulfill the degree requirements of
this College and rate a minimum grade of C.
Testing
for Basic Academic Competencies
Tests
to provide information concerning basic academic competencies in
language and mathematics are administered to all students who intend
to pursue a degree. The
College utilizes tests purchased from the Multiple Assessment
Programs and Services of the College Board. When tests indicate weakness in these skills through the
student’s failure to reach the required score in Arithmetic
Skills, in Reading Comprehension, and in Conventions of Written
English, the College requires and offers remediation. International applicants are tested in their knowledge of
English as a Second Language for placement purposes.
International

College
for
Sisters is authorized under Federal law to enroll nonimmigrant
students. International
