GED scores are acceptable. You must, however, meet MCR stated above by submitting a partial, official high school transcript.

HOW DOES TEST OPTIONAL ADMISSION WORK?

Test Optional admission requires you to answer 3 of 5 short essay questions, which admissions staff evaluate.

COVID-19 VACCINE REQUIREMENT

Brevard College requires the Covid-19 vaccine for all students, faculty, and staff. You will need to submit your Covid-19 vaccine information prior to your enrollment at Brevard College. Valid religions and medical appeals are accepted. Please talk with the appeal process with your Admissions Counselor.

DO YOU ACCEPT THE GED?

Brevard College accepts the HiSET and GED exams. Beyond these exams, however, you must still meet Minimum Course Requirements (MCRs) (either from partial high school transcripts or college courses). You are exempt from MCRs if you are at least 21 years of age or have 30 transferable college hours.

WHAT COLLEGE COURSES WILL TRANSFER?

Transferable coursework is determined upon evaluation of college transcripts. General Education credits are rarely non-transferable.

Course equivalents are based upon comparison to Brevard College course catalog descriptions and transferring institution’s course descriptions. Exceptions for equivalent courses not offered at Brevard College are subject to review by division faculty.

DO YOU ACCEPT DUAL ENROLLMENT OR AP COURSES?

The above requirements for transfer credits apply to dual enrollment coursework. AP credit is based upon official scores from The College Board. Brevard College requires a score of 3 or higher to assign credit.

Here's a complete list of Admissions Policies.

All offers of admission are contingent upon completion of all current coursework attempted or pending at the time an offer of admission is made. Applicants who have completed college level credit hours after graduating high school must follow transfer applicant admissions policies and procedures and provide an official transcript from all institutions attended.
