IMPORTANT ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
You may enroll in up to 9 credit hours at Western before you submit your official high school transcript, official college transcripts and official testing (ACT, SAT, ACCUPLACER) as long as you do not plan to enroll in any English, math or science courses.
If you should ever exceed 9 credit hours or need to enroll in an English, math or science, you will be required to have all official documents (including testing) on file in the Admissions Office at Western before you can enroll again or receive a transcript.
When you submit ACT or SAT scores, you will need to meet or exceed the required scores to clear your high school curricular deficiencies. (See college catalog for details.) If you do not meet or exceed those required scores, you would be required to take appropriate ACCUPLACER testing and enroll in the required developmental course/s at that time.
