Admissions

Freshman Applicants

Admission to Nevada State College as Freshman Applicant will be based on the student's academic record. This will be established through on of the following sets of criteria:

High School Students/Graduates:

The students who attended an accredited or approved high school must complete a Standard High School Diploma, have an overall grade point average

- 4 years of English
- 3 years of Mathematics (with at least two being Algebra I or higher - two years of Applied Algebra count as one year towards the requirement)
- 2 years of Science (with at least one lab science)
- 3 years of Social Studies

National college entrance tests (ACT/SAT) will be used as benchmarks for placement in English and Mathematics courses.

Home School Students/Graduates:

The students who are home schooled are required to have an overall grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, to take either national college entrance test (ACT or SAT), and complete the following coursework:
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of Mathematics (with at least two being Algebra 1 or higher - two years of Applied Algebra count as one year towards the requirement)
- 2 years of Science (with at least one lab science)
- 3 years of Social Sciences

The ACT/SAT will help in the evaluation of college preparation and readiness, as a home schooled student may not complete or receive a Standard Diploma.

GED Students:

Those students who have completed a GED will automatically be sent to the Admissions Review Committee for an admission decision. The admission will be based on our evaluation of college preparation and readiness as a student who completed a GED.

Students Not Meeting the Above Requirements:

Some students who are deficient in the course, but have a sufficient grade point average, or completed a certificate of completion and have a sufficient grade point average or completed a certificate of completion and a s ufficient grade point average may be granted admission on a conditional, probationary or special basis upon further evaluation by the Admissions Review Committee.
