Admissions Procedures:

The Beacon College Admissions Committee makes all candidacy decisions.  In order to give each candidate full consideration, the Committee evaluates applicant files only when they are deemed complete.  Applicants must submit the following items in order to complete their admission file:    

• Completed application form and application fee ($50)
• College Essay  (directions can be found on page four of the application.  The essay should be typed or word-processed.  Video and audiocassettes are also accepted.) 
• Most recent educational evaluation (Adult measure no more than 3 years old) Evaluations must include:

1. A clear diagnosis of learning disability or ADD/HD.
2. Wechsler scales (WAIS-III are preferred) with full scale, cluster, and sub-test scores.
3. Woodcock Johnson cognitive assessments with age or grade equivalence in reading, writing, or mathematics. 

• Official high school transcripts or college transcripts, if applicable.
• Three letters of recommendation.  Recommendations can be written by any of the following:  teachers, tutors, guidance counselors, and/or employers.
• Optional SAT/ACT.  We do not place heavy emphasis on SAT/Act scores, but we do find that they add to our understanding of the applicant.

Campus visit:  Though not required, we highly recommend that all candidates visit the campus to fully evaluate our academic and student life.

Admissions Decisions:

The Beacon College Admissions Committee makes all candidacy decisions.  Applicants are notified of Committee decisions in writing within two business days of meeting. 

Interview:  After a candidate completes his/her applicant file and an initial screening has been performed, an interview may be required.  Interviews are required when/if the Admissions Committee feels that it needs additional information and/or personal contact with an applicant to fully assess their viability for acceptance.  Candidates are notified in writing if they will be required to participate in the interview process. 

Denial:  The College reserves the right to refuse admission to any applicant it considers inadequately qualified.  If a candidate wishes to appeal a denial, he/she 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 Admission. 

Acceptance:  Enrollment contracts with specified deposit deadlines are mailed to each candidate with his/her acceptance letter.  Candidates are required to submit a completed, signed contract along with a non-refundable deposit of $750.00 to hold their seat for the coming semester.  This enrollment deposit is applied toward the applicant’s first semester tuition bill.    

Hold:    As a result of the evaluation process, the Committee may determined that it needs additional information in order to give a candidate full consideration.  In this instance, a candidate’s applicant file will be placed on “hold” until receipt of the specified information and/or documentation.  One received, a candidate’s file will once again go before the Admissions Committee for further consideration.  Applicants are notified in writing if/when the status of their candidacy changes.
