minimal requirements, applicants are
rank-ordered for acceptance using a points
system based on ACT or COMPASS
Reading score (minimum score of 76 on
the COMPASS or ACT equivalent required)
and quality points from selected
college or high school courses with preference
given to those students who have
taken general education courses at Southern

are not guaranteed admission
into the Mobility Option Program.
