CONWAY — The board of trustees of the University of Central Arkansas approved new minimum admission requirements Friday, maintaining what the university contends are the highest admission standards in the state. Under the new plan, students to be admitted on a conditional basis must have a 3.0 grade point average, be in the top third of their high school class or score 17 or higher on all parts of the American College Test. The changes, which will take effect in the fall of 1999, will increase the grade point requirement from 2.75, the class status from the top 40 percent and lower the test score minimum from 19. The changes affect students who are being admitted on a conditional basis, meaning they have to meet certain requirements beyond those being admitted unconditionally. Typically, those standards can require some additional courses and academic advising and a requirement to maintain a certain grade point average.
