Demonstrating High School Completion

Prior to matriculating at Beloit, all enrolling candidates must demonstrate either successful completion of high school or provide a federally approved alternative to a high school diploma.

For most students, this requirement is fulfilled by providing an official, final high school transcript that lists the date the student was awarded a diploma. For students who are unable to provide a final high school transcript, a copy of a GED transcript or certificate, or certification of a state authorized equivalent to the high school diploma are sufficient.

Home-schooled students should provide appropriate documentation to demonstrate completion of high school as determined by the laws in their state.
Students graduating from high schools outside of the United States who do not provide final transcripts may demonstrate completion by submitting a certificate of graduation or final national examination scores.

Finalizing Admission

Admission decisions are conditional until final transcripts are received and satisfactory completion of courses is confirmed. Admission may be revoked if this information is not verified by the final official transcript(s).

If the validity of the transcript, high school diploma, or high school equivalency test is questioned, the Office of Admissions will request documentation from the secondary school or testing agency that confirms the validity of the student’s credential. In addition, the Office of Admissions may contact the relevant department or agency in the state in which the secondary school is located to confirm that the secondary school is recognized as a provider of secondary school education.

Withholding information or giving false information to the college may make a student ineligible for admission to the college or subject to dismissal.

Finalizing Admission for Transfer Students

Transfer students must provide demonstration of high school completion or a passing equivalency exam score as part of their application process. Failure to demonstrate successful completion of high school or a passing equivalency exam score may be grounds for rescission of admission.

Rescission of Admission

Individuals who are offered admission to Beloit College agree to abide by the policies and standards of conduct contained in its Student Handbook and the Beloit College Course Catalog.

Beloit College reserves the right to rescind offers of admission at any point prior to a student’s matriculation. Rescission of an admission offer is at the discretion of the college and typically occurs when the college becomes aware of conduct that is in violation of Beloit’s Student Handbook, an application that includes false or misleading information, or changes in academic performance. Failure to inform Beloit College of any changes to information contained in the application may also lead to rescission of an admission offer.
