General Requirements  

General Requirements 
The applicant must submit 1) an application for admission, and 2) evidence of a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent. 
Additional requirements will apply to specific academic programs.
Acceptable documentation of a high school diploma or recognized equivalent include:
 

  • A high school transcript demonstrating an earned high school diploma.
  • A GED Certificate.
  • A state certificate awarded after passing an authorized test and that the state recognizes as equivalent to a high school diploma, such as the Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) or the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET), or a state-recognized equivalent of a high school diploma.
  • The applicant must provide the official transcripts of credits from the transferring institution.
  • Successfully completed homeschooling at the secondary level according to the laws of the state in which the student resides. Acceptable documentation varies by state.
     

The admissions officer shall examine any document to corroborate, in their best judgment, that it is original and has no visible alterations to comply with the requirements. If AGMU has reason to believe a student’s diploma or transcript is not valid or was not obtained from an entity that provides secondary or postsecondary school education, it will complete additional steps to try to determine if the document is acceptable. These additional steps may include contacting the granting institution or confirming with a relevant department or state agency. AGMU reserves the right not to accept documents for the validity of which it cannot determine. 


Applicants seeking admission to undergraduate programs must meet the following guidelines to complete the undergraduate student enrollment process: 

  1. For students seeking to transfer to AGMU, AGMU must receive official transcripts from postsecondary institutions within forty-five (45) calendar days from the beginning of the term to complete the student file. Failure to meet this deadline may result in the cancellation of the student’s enrollment and admission.
  2. All official transcripts and diplomas from institutions outside of the United States that are not in English must have a commercial translation or evaluation.
  3. Students must submit a full-color front and back copy of a valid identification (government-issued ID) with a photo to evidence of an address where the applicant resides (i.e., driver’s license). 

  4. International students must submit two (2) forms of evidence, including a passport of their country and valid identification (government-issued ID). 

    Additionally, prospective students should note:
    1. AGMU reserves the right to restrict the size of enrollment in selected programs based on limited facilities and other institutional factors; and 
    2. AGMU reserves the right to deny or rescind admission to any applicant or student, for reasons that include, but are not limited to, the falsification of the admissions application or the submission of fraudulent documents.
