Admission requirements
Thomas Aquinas College has a rolling admissions policy:
as soon as an application is complete, it is placed in line for
consideration by the Admissions Committee. Prospective students
are eligible to begin applications after they have completed their
junior year of high school studies.
Acceptance remains provisional until after the College has received
and reviewed the applicant's signed Payment Plan and Promissory
Note, a satisfactory transcript of grades through the second semester
of the senior year in high school and health and registration information.
An application form and letters of reference forms are attached
within the College's
Bulletin of Information, a copy of which is available
on request. It is not necessary that all parts of an application
be submitted at the same time.
Applicants who are accepted after the class has been filled are
placed on a waiting list. Experience shows that many students who
are placed on the waiting list stand a very good chance of being
offered a place in the class.
Thomas Aquinas College admits as regular students only individuals
who have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent, or
are beyond the age of compulsory education in California.
Complete applications include:
- Application form and essay responses to questions posed on the
application;
- Three letters of reference (at least two of which are to be
written by recent teachers or people who have known you in an
academic setting);
- Transcripts of high school (and college studies, if applicable);
- Results of the SAT or the ACT (the SAT Critical Reading scores
of accepted students generally range from 580 to 800 and Mathematics
scores range from 520 to 800; composite ACT scores generally range
from 22 to 36). When requesting scores to be sent to Thomas Aquinas
College, use CB code number 4828 or ACT code number 0425.
- There is no application fee.

The breadth of the application allows students to express their
academic interests and strengths. It also enables the Admissions
Committee to evaluate an applicant's potential for success in the
program. Personal or telephone interviews may also be required by
the Admissions Committee.
The Admissions Committee will act upon applications submitted by
high school students as early as the middle of the first semester
of the senior year. A final transcript of high school studies must
be submitted as soon as possible after graduation and will complete
the application records. Applicants who have undertaken college-level
studies elsewhere before applying for admission to Thomas Aquinas
College should submit transcripts of these studies as well as their
high school transcripts.
