applicants who present an act composite score of 21 or higher (or sat equivalent), a high school gpa of 2.5 or higher and strong educational references are generally admitted without conditions.

applicants who do not meet all four criteria will be automatically reviewed, which in some circumstances may require admission through the transitions program or other conditions. any student, regardless of acceptance status, who does not score a 21 or higher on the math portion of the act (500 or higher on the sat) is required to take introductory and/or intermediate algebra.

home-schooled students

lipscomb recognizes the unique nature of home schooling and welcomes applications from home-schooled graduates. in general, a home-schooled student applying as a first-time freshman should follow the same application procedures as other freshman applicants. in lieu of a high school transcript, a home schooling record or transcript is required. if an educational reference is not available, a personal reference from a non-family member must be submitted.

transfer students

lipscomb accepts applications for admission from students who have attended other accredited institutions. transfer students must follow, in general, the first three enrollment steps for freshman students.

all college transcripts are required, as well as high school transcripts and act or sat scores if the student is transferring with fewer than 60 semester hours. if an applicant is currently enrolled at

another institution, a final college transcript will be required to validate admission. in addition, transfer students must be eligible to return to the institution previously attended. transfer students who are admitted with a gpa below 2.0 will be placed on academic probation. normally, courses with a grade equivalent to or exceeding a “c” will transfer. the university reserves the right to reject any applicant, or rescind admission to the university, at its own discretion.

tennessee board of regents schools. 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 will accept the general education requirements from tennessee board of regents schools as meeting the general education requirements when one of the following exists:

the student has completed all requirements for an a.s. or a.a. degree,
the student has completed all the tbr general education requirements, or
the student is completing one of the approved tennessee transfer pathways.

students who do not meet one of these options will have their general education course work approved for transfer on a course-by-course comparison.

tennessee transfer pathway

世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 is a participant in the tennessee transfer pathway. tennessee transfer pathways (ttps) are designed to help community college students plan for transferring to a tennessee public university or select regionally accredited, nonprofit tennessee private colleges and universities to complete their baccalaureate degree. the ttps also constitute an agreement between community colleges and four-year colleges/universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements. a student who completes all of the courses listed on a particular transfer pathway will earn an a.a. or other degree at the community college.

the student is responsible for following the ttp exactly to ensure transfer of hours. a minimum grade of “c” is required for courses to transfer. admission into 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 does not guarantee admission into a specific program.

the guaranteed tuition option

undergraduate students enrolling full-time (12 hours or more) in the fall of 2018 may elect one of the following tuition rates:

the guaranteed tuition option provides eligible students with the opportunity to pay a fixed tuition rate for four years instead of paying a tuition rate that typically increases each year. while the fixed tuition rate for the 2018-2019 academic year under the guaranteed option is slightly higher than the standard tuition rate, a student who elects to participate in the guaranteed tuition option is not susceptible to increased tuition rates during the four-year period but is guaranteed to pay a fixed rate over that period.

eligible students must formally elect to participate in the guaranteed tuition option by properly selecting this option on mylipscomb between june 1, 2018 and july 31, 2018.

students who participate in the guaranteed tuition option but enroll in less than 12 credit hours during any semester will not be eligible for the guaranteed tuition option rate during that semester, but must instead pay the standard tuition hourly rate. students who participate in the guaranteed tuition option but enroll in more than 18 credit hours during any semester will pay the guaranteed tuition option rate plus the standard tuition hourly rate for such excess hours. further, students who do not graduate within four years must pay tuition at the university’s regular rate for any additional years.

this guaranteed tuition option rate only applies to the four academic years beginning with the fall 2018 semester and ending with the spring 2022 semester. all university traditional undergraduate students are eligible to select and participate in the guaranteed tuition option, except those students who (i) receive the university’s freshmen or transfer trustee award; (ii) are dependents of university employees and receive the corresponding tuition discount; or (iii) receive an athletic scholarship. students who enroll in any of the university’s adult degree, graduate or professional programs are not eligible to select or participate in the guaranteed tuition option.

the guaranteed tuition option only applies to tuition and does not relate to costs for room and board, nursing fees, specific course fees, study abroad fees, expenses related to mission trips or any additional university fees other than the general student fee. all students who select and participate in the guaranteed tuition option will be responsible for paying such other fees.

a student may cancel and revoke his or her participation in the guaranteed tuition option at any time by providing written notice to the bursar’s office in person or by email at bursar@lipscomb.edu. any such notice that is received before the end of the first week of a given semester will terminate the student’s participation in the guaranteed tuition option effective as of that semester. if notice is received after the first week of a given semester, the student’s participation in the guaranteed tuition option will be terminated effective as of the following semester. after a student’s revocation of the guaranteed tuition option becomes effective, the student will be charged the regular tuition rate for subsequent semesters in accordance with university policies.

if the enrollment of a student participating in the guaranteed tuition option is canceled for any reason (including, without limitation, withdrawal, suspension or expulsion), any refund of tuition will be subject to the terms of the university’s refund policy, as set forth in the university’s catalog and other official publications. the university reserves the right to offset any tuition amounts that might be deemed refundable against any other amounts owed by the student. no portion of the guaranteed tuition rate is refundable in any manner except as expressly set forth in the university’s refund policy.
