DOORS Program (Diversified Opportunities
for Older
and Returning Students) |
| |
| What is DOORS? | Testing | Credits | Cost |
| |
| DOORS is a special admission category for persons aged 21 or older.
Applicants are admitted to the University as non-degree seeking students. |
| |
| The DOORS admission status waives some academic credentials, including
ACTE or other standardized test scores. You must have a high school diploma or GED to apply for the DOORS program. If you are denied admission to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette as a regular, degree seeking student, you cannot be admitted as a non-degree seeking student. Non-degree seeking students may register
for any courses offered as long as they meet course requirements, such as pre-requisites and co-requisites. Course limitations apply as specified
in the UL Lafayette catalog. |
| |
| The ACTE is normally used for placement in beginning
English and Math courses. DOORS applicants who have not taken the ACTE
may take the
UL Lafayette DOORS Placement Tests in English and Math. To take the English Placement Exam, please contact the UL Lafayette Testing Office in Olivier
Hall, Room 212. The telephone number to the Testing Office is (337)
482-6480. To take the Math Placement Exam, please contact the UL Lafayette Math Department at (337) 482-6702. |
| |
| Because credentials are waived for DOORS applicants,
a maximum of fifteen (15) semester hours of credit earned in non-remedial
courses
may later be applied toward a degree at UL Lafayette. When DOORS applicants
wish to change to degree seeking status, they must meet regular degree
seeking admission requirements, including transcripts of all previous
studies. DOORS Placement Test scores may be used to substitute for the
ACTE, only if the DOORS student registers for and completes both English
and Math before changing to another major/classification. Prospective
Nursing students are required to submit scores from the ACTE before they
can be considered for admission to that program. |
| |
| Tuition rates are the same for DOORS students as they are for degree-seeking
students. DOORS
students and other non-degree classifications DO NOT qualify for financial
aid. |
