New students must present a transcript or report card from the school attended last year.  Due to the accelerated and college preparatory nature of HEP, we require that students have a strong academic record to be admitted to our program.  Students with a GPA lower than 2.8 on a 4.0 scale or an average lower than 80 on a 100 point scale, may be denied admission. 

Students who have been dismissed from another program for disciplinary reasons will not be accepted at HEP.  Students who are on probation with the court system will not be accepted at HEP.  We reserve the right to refuse service.
