New Admissions Policy Adopted

Pall quarter applications will be
processed according to application
date and rank in high school class

A new admissions policy has been adopted by Eastern Illinois Uni-
versity "in order to permit the University to make full utilization of its
staff and facilities and at the same time avoid the risk of overcrowd-
ing. . . .

By authority of the Teachers College Board, 1965 fall quarter
applications will be processed according to date of application and
high school rank:

Until April 1 priority in considering applications will go to students
who rank in the upper 40 per cent of their high school graduating
classes. However, all Teacher Education Scholarship holders, regardless
of rank, will be given priority.

After April 1 applications from additional students who rank in
the upper 50 per cent will be considered if enrollment limits have not
been reached.

After May 1 Eastern may accept applications from any students
ii~ the upper 60 per cent of their graduating classes "provided such
action is justified by the number of application cancellations."

For winter quarter, applications from students in the top 50 per
cent of their high school classes will be given top priority, with appli-
cations from the next 10 per cent to be considered only if space is
available. For spring quarter, applications from students in the top 60
per cent will be considered if space is available.

For summer quarter, applications from all qualified high school
graduates will be considered regardless of rank in class, except that
students ranking in the lowest third will be admitted on final probation
only.

Persons who have been out of school one year or more and who
were in the lowest third of their classes may be admitted on final pro-
bation in any quarter. Students who were in the lowest third of their
high school classes, but who have not been out of school one year or
more, are admitted on final probation but only in the summer quarter.

An application fee of $15 will be charged each new and transfer
student beginning with the 1965 school year. All schools governed by
the Teachers College Board will charge the fee, designed to discourage
multiple applications.

Prior to the new admissions policy, graduates of Illinois high
schools in the upper two-thirds of their graduating classes were ad-
mitted without condition. Applicants in the lowest third of their classes,
in general, were admitted on academic probation for the summer,
winter or spring quarters only.
