| 3 | | (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2025) | 4 | | Sec. 15. Automatic admission. | 5 | | (a) Each institution shall admit an applicant for general | 6 | | admission to the institution as an undergraduate student if | 7 | | the applicant graduated with a grade point average in the top | 8 | | 10% or was certified to be in the top 10% of the student's high | 9 | | school graduating class in one of the 2 school years preceding | 10 | | the academic year for which the applicant is applying for | 11 | | admission and: | 12 | | (1) the applicant graduated from a public or private | 13 | | high school in this State accredited by a generally | 14 | | recognized accrediting organization or from a high school | 15 | | operated by the United States Department of Defense; | 16 | | (2) the applicant: | 17 | | (A) successfully completed the minimum college | 18 | | preparatory curriculum requirements established by law | 19 | | for admission to the institution; and | 20 | | (B) satisfied the ACT college admission assessment | 21 | | or the SAT college admission assessment composite | 22 | | score and subscores required for admission to the | 23 | | institution to which the applicant applied as well as | 24 | | any composite scores or subscores for colleges within | 25 | | that institution; and |

| 1 | | (3) if the applicant graduated from a high school | 2 | | operated by the United States Department of Defense, the | 3 | | applicant is a State resident or is entitled to pay | 4 | | tuition fees at the rate provided for State residents for | 5 | | the term or semester to which admitted. | 6 | | (b) An applicant who does not satisfy the curriculum | 7 | | requirements prescribed by item (A) of subdivision (2) of | 8 | | subsection (a) of this Section is considered to have satisfied | 9 | | those requirements for the purposes of this Act if the student | 10 | | completed the portion of the college preparatory curriculum | 11 | | that was available to the student but was unable to complete | 12 | | the remainder of the curriculum solely because courses | 13 | | necessary to complete the remainder were unavailable to the | 14 | | student at the appropriate times in the student's high school | 15 | | career as a result of course scheduling, lack of enrollment | 16 | | capacity, or another cause not within the student's control. | 17 | | An institution may require a student's successful completion | 18 | | of such curriculum requirements prior to or concurrently with | 19 | | enrollment at the institution. If the institution does so, the | 20 | | institution shall identify and connect the student to a | 21 | | community college that offers the required curriculum and that | 22 | | has an articulation agreement with the institution or the | 23 | | institution shall offer the required curriculum through online | 24 | | instruction to the student. | 25 | | (c) An applicant who graduates in a graduating class of a | 26 | | school, whether public or non-public, that has so few students |
