Applicant Review
Students who do not meet the 2.5 grade point average standard will be invited to OLLU鈥檚 Deferred Admission Program.
Deferred Admission Program
Students who are denied admission are eligible for OLLU鈥檚 Deferred Admission Program (DAP). This invitation-only program is intended for applicants who were denied freshman admission, but upon successful completion, of the DAP can be considered a 鈥渢ransfer鈥 student.
The DAP is designed to introduce you to the demands of college-level studies, bolster your study skills, and establish a baseline college GPA. Successful completion of the program with an acceptable GPA will qualify you for an 天美影院academic scholarship.
