Park University reserves the right to deny admission to any student whose level of academic performance at other educational institutions is below 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. In such cases, Park University officials may require submission of evidence that the student graduated in the upper 50 percent of the high school graduating class and has achieved a minimum ACT score of 20 or a SAT score of 840.
In those instances where students have attended college elsewhere without graduating from high school, a college transcript evidencing 48 or more earned credit hours can also be utilized as evidence of high school equivalency.
