Additional Information

Here is some additional information for your reference as we continue to navigate through the challenges presented by the coronavirus outbreak.

Unofficial Documents

Vaughn typically requires that all applicants submit official educational documents in order for an admissions decision to be rendered. Due to some of the challenges students are currently encountering, the College will accept unofficial documents in order to render an admissions decision. This decision is contingent upon completion of the application process. In order for your acceptance to become official, the office of admissions must receive official documents prior to the end of the program adjustment period.

Test Optional Guidance

Vaughn typically requires that all applicants for a bachelor of science degree must submit SAT or ACT test scores. In lieu of those scores, applicants will take a Vaughn-administered assessment test to determine their program acceptance and course placement.
