The Early Admission to College Program is a collegiate program
designed to provide an opportunity for qualified students to
complete their freshman year of college at St. John’s University
upon the successful completion of the high school curriculum
through the 11th grade level.
- These students enter as fully matriculated freshmen; University
tuition & fees are assessed
- They earn credits toward a college degree
- Satisfy high school diploma requirements
- Scholarships and Financial Aid are available
At the conclusion of the freshman year, results of the student’s
performance are sent to the high school and become a part of the
permanent record. Based upon the successful completion of a
year of college study, the student is eligible to receive a high
school diploma, without examination, from his or her own high
school.
- Prior approval for the latter must be obtained from the high
school principal or the local school board. If the student
passes the required Regents Examinations, he or she may also
receive a New York State Regents High School Diploma.
Students are assigned an advisor of the school of the University
in which the student is enrolled and also is assisted by the Office
of Special Programs. The advisor and the Office of Special
administrator work closely together to assist the students in the
selection of courses and programs to increase compatibility with
their backgrounds and capacities and to obtain their high school
diploma.
