ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE DECISIONS Acceptance All Admissions Committee decisions are made in writing. The Intent to Enroll Form is mailed to each candidate with the acceptance letter. Candidates are required to submit a completed, signed Intent to Enroll Form along with a non-refundable deposit of $425.00 to reserve a seat for the coming semester. This enrollment deposit is applied toward the candidate’s first semester tuition bill. Provisional Acceptance A special provision in the admissions process is made for candidates who may not meet minimal requirements for admissions, but demonstrate academic potential and motivation to complete a degree program. Based on the potential for success provided by remedial interventions, students may attend Beacon College with provisional acceptance. Provisionally accepted students may take twelve (12) credits and are required to complete College Readiness/Developmental course work prior to seeking full admission. For credit-bearing courses, the provisionally accepted students must maintain a GPA of 2.0 during the first academic year. At the end of the first academic year, if the 2.0 GPA is maintained, the provisionally admitted student will be removed from provisional status. If the 2.0 GPA is not maintained, the provisionally admitted student may be dismissed from the College. Hold As a result of the evaluation process, the Admissions Committee may determine that it needs additional information in order to give a candidate full consideration. In this instance, a candidate’s application will be placed on “hold” until receipt of the specified information and/or documentation. Once received, the candidate’s file will be resubmitted to the Admissions Committee for further consideration. Applicants are notified in writing if/when the status of their candidacy changes. Denial All Admissions Committee decisions are made in writing. The College reserves the right to refuse admission to any candidate it considers inadequately qualified or whose documents do not note a learning disability as the primary handicapping condition. If a candidate wishes to appeal a denial, the candidate may do so by petitioning the Admissions Committee in writing. A letter requesting further consideration, along with additional and/or updated information, should be forwarded to the Admissions Committee in care of the Office of Admissions.
