Post-Secondary Enrollment Option

For College Tech Prep students interested in the Postsecondary Enrollment Option, the entrance level grade-point average (GPA) is 3.0 overall with a 21 or higher composite score on the ACT. The college may admit a student with a lower GPA and/or ACT on a case-by-case basis.

College Tech Prep students will be required to obtain a formal written recommendation letter from the high school (Guidance Counselor or Principal) that indicates the support of the school and that the students show promise in their technical fields.

College Tech Prep Postsecondary students will be limited to college course work that directly relates to the associate degree program in their specific College Tech Prep Pathway. Students meeting the above requirements will be eligible for PSEO Option B. (Option B allows students to receive high school graduation credit and college credit simultaneously. Textbooks, materials, tuition and fees related to the course work are provided at public expense.)

Additionally, the application fee will be waived for College Tech Prep Postsecondary students.

Interested College Tech Prep students should take the following steps:

• Obtain a Postsecondary Enrollment application from the Office of Admissions, The University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325-2001 or from their High School or Career Center Guidance Counselor.
• Complete and return the application with the recommendation letter and required signatures to: Kelly Herold, College Tech Prep Coordinator, The University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325-6001
• Information regarding acceptance into the program, registration for classes and academic advising will be forthcoming in the letter of admissions to the College Tech Prep Postsecondary Enrollment Options program.
