If you are interested in taking college-level classes and you are neither 18 years of age or older nor a high school graduate, you are considered an Early Admissions student.
Early Admissions acceptance is determined by the College of DuPage Admission and Information office on a case-by-case basis. Your first step is to speak with an admission representative. Call (630) 942-2380 to schedule a qualifying interview and to discuss the required placement test procedures.
To meet Early Admissions requirements, you must:- Score into Category One on both the C.O.D. reading and writing placement tests. Math and science courses may require math placement test results.
- Have a minimum high school GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale or 3.75 on a 5.0 scale.
- Interview with an admission specialist.
- Early Admission process must be completed ONE WEEK prior to the start of classes or the student will be ineligible to enroll.
Please note the following:
- Approval from your high school counselor or parent does not guarantee admission.
- During your first term at C.O.D., you will be limited to ONE academic course.
- The Early Admissions process must be repeated each semester until the student turns 18 or graduates from high school.
