1. How and when should the top third of the class be calculated?

A student's highest rank in class as reported by the high school at the end of either the 7th or 8th semester will be used. In all cases, the student's final highest rank in class must place the student within the top third of the class. See item 7 below.

2. If a high school does not rank students, will its students have to meet one of the other criteria?

Yes.

3. Is class rank to be computed based on total curriculum or the pre-college curriculum?

The top 1/3 of the applicant's high school class is a separate admissions criterion. Therefore, a student's 7th or 8th semester class rank should be reported by the high school based on the student's total curriculum. High Schools should report the total number of students in the applicant's class and the applicant's numerical rank in the class.

The same procedures will be followed when determining eligibility of students who have graduated from out-of-state high schools. Students who have graduated from out-of-state high schools will be required to submit either 7th or 8th semester high school transcripts and corresponding rank in class information. Each Regents University admissions office will evaluate the nature and level of the high school courses appearing on the official transcript from an out-of-state high school accredited by a regional accrediting association on the basis of available information.
