During a recent high school counselor workshop, Southeastern Louisiana University announced a new admissions opportunity for first-time students called “Fast Forward.”
Beginning in the fall of 2022, high school students with a minimum 2.50 GPA will be automatically admissible to the university through Fast Forward.
As an expansion of the university’s test-flexible approach, ACT scores will not be required for admission. For Southeastern, test-flexible refers to the types of test scores accepted for English and math placement, including Accuplacer, ALEKS, ACT, Pre-ACT, PSAT, SAT, and LEAP.
Meeting eligibility requirements for TOPS and institutional scholarships at Southeastern will still require ACT/SAT scores.
President John L. Crain says Fast Forward will allow them to provide earlier admission decisions for students, be flexible in using multiple potential measures to place them in appropriate courses of study and shepherd their success through academic support systems.
While the existing admission criteria for the university remains in place, the additional option of admitting based solely on the high school GPA allows for greater student opportunities and aligns with the mission of Southeastern.
Southeastern is the third largest public university in Louisiana, offering bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees.
