Early admission
 
 

Students who have completed their junior year of high school at a Florida high school may be considered for Early Admission to the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. If accepted, Early Admission students enter FAU as freshmen instead of attending high school for their senior year. Qualifications for Early Admission are: 1. Acceptance to the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College; and 2. Permission from their high school to allow FAU courses to satisfy any remaining high school credit requirements for graduation. At the end of their freshman year, successful Early Admission students will have completed both their freshman year of college and their senior year of high school.
Contact the Office of Admissions for additional information.
