Special Admission Requirements for the College of Agriculture, Urbana

T h e Urbana-Champaign Senate has approved a recommendation from the College of Agriculture for special admission requirements to be employed in the admission of freshmen to that college. Since the majority of courses taken by freshmen in the College of Agriculture are courses offered in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the academic success of freshmen in agriculture will be enhanced if their academic credentials are equal to, or better than, those of freshmen entering the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It is therefore proposed that those potential freshmen who apply for admission to the College of Agriculture, and who meet or exceed the qualifications, in terms of rank in-class and test score for competitive admission to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, be admitted to the College of Agriculture. The credentials of applicants whose academic qualifications are below the level described, yet above campus minimum requirements, will be reviewed by an admissions advisory committee. Those applicants in this latter group determined to have a defined professional interest in their intended curriculum in the college will be offered admission. Those applicants in this latter group who express insufficient professional interest in a program of study in the College of Agriculture will be denied admission. If the number of applicants to the College of Agriculture with academic credentials meeting the LAS level exceeds the amount of space available for new freshmen in the College of Agriculture, the statement of professional interest may be used as an additional consideration. Applicants applying after the "equal consideration period," as defined in materials included with the application for admission, will also be evaluated using the criteria described above. However, depending on the amount of space remaining, the academic credentials or statement of professional interest may have to be stronger than was necessary during the equal consideration period.
