Admissions Policy
Admissions Policy – The goal of CCSJ’s admissions office is to admit any student who shows the potential for achieving academic success at the college level. To that end, CCSJ employs a “liberal” admissions policy. The student is not required to submit an admissions essay, counselor recommendation, nor SAT/ACT scores (though this is encouraged.) If the student does not submit ACT/SAT scores, the student will normally be required to take the COMPASS assessment and essay before an admissions decision is made. If the applicant does not have at least a cumulative high school GPA of 2.0/4.0, then the student will be referred to possible admission in the CCSJ PACE Program.
Subject preparation. High school students who intend to enroll at Calumet College of St Joseph should take a college preparatory curriculum. It is recommended but not required that entering freshmen should have at least 15 units of high school work from the areas and courses specified below.
