Students who desire to enroll before completing the traditional senior year in high school (outside of our Advanced College Experience/Early Access program) will be reviewed by the Admission Committee to determine the applicant’s ability for academic and personal success.
NOTE: Carroll College is test-optional; however, standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, or CLT) may also be used in the determination of merit scholarships. SAT or ACT scores may be sent directly from the testing agency, either the College Board or ACT or they
may be included on the student's official high school transcript. Carroll College's SAT code is: 4041 and ACT code is: 2408.
The offer of admission is contingent upon the successful completion of the senior year of high school and graduation, with submission of official transcripts required prior to the first day of Carroll College classes.
First-year applicants are strongly encouraged to follow a college-preparatory curriculum. While such a curriculum is recommended, it is not required in order for a student to be considered for admission to Carroll College.

- English—4 years

- Social Studies—3 years, including U.S. History and U.S. Government
- Science—2 years, including one lab science
