Monticello College will consider applicants to our on-campus program who meet the following conditions:

• Are beyond the age of Utah Compulsory Education (18 years old)
• Have received either a high school diploma or satisfactorily passed the General Educational Development Test or a national standardized test (ACT/SAT)
• Satisfactorily passed the MC entrance interview

Applicants must submit:

 Application

 Application Fee

 Transcripts from any other institutions of higher education

 High school graduation/GED certificate or SAT/ACT scores

 Three letters of recommendation

 A creative sample 

Among a number of criteria, the following guidelines may be used to determine whether Monticello College is a good fit for the candidate:

• Does the candidate evince initiative in beginning something of significance with little or no adult involvement?
• Does the candidate evince that he/she has engaged in voluntary service to community on a regular basis?
• Does the candidate evince enthusiasm for reading?
• Does the candidate demonstrate proficiency in music, either vocal or instrumental?
• Does the candidate demonstrate proficiency in writing or speaking?

One week after submitting the application, students should contact MC to arrange for an academic interview.

Students who are accepted into the degree program and who at any time thereafter fail to enroll in classes for two or more consecutive semesters must reapply. Readmitted students do not lose credit for previously completed courses, but they are subject to the current graduation requirements of the program, which may have changed and may not include all of the courses a student has previously completed.

*Online applicants have a relaxed admissions policy. Online students may transfer as on-campus students once they have proven proficiency in the on-campus admission criteria.
