Augustana College and Rivermont Collegiate signed a guaranteed admissions agreement at Augustana’s Bahls Campus Leadership Center.
The signing was attended by Augustana President Andrea Talentino and Rivermont Headmaster Max Roach, with opening remarks by Executive Director of International Enrollment Liz Nino.
Under the agreement, students who complete at least two years in good standing at Rivermont, a nonsectarian, college preparatory school for students two years through twelfth grade located in Bettendorf, Iowa, can qualify for guaranteed admission to Augustana.
“Academics and whole-student development are highly valued at both Augustana and Rivermont Collegiate, so this match is a great fit,” said President Talentino. “We’re pleased to strengthen our relationship with Rivermont through this agreement and look forward to welcoming additional Rivermont students to Augustana’s campus.”
Qualifying Rivermont students must meet a minimum 3.0 GPA for acceptance to Augustana. Additionally, Augustana Admissions staff will evaluate Rivermont students’ transcripts in the areas of core subjects, including English, math, social science, natural science and foreign language.
All interested students must meet standardized test requirements and complete the standard Augustana application or the Common App.
