Qualifying for ATYP

Information meetings to learn about the Talent Search and qualifying for ATYP are usually held throughout the month of October. If you are interested in participating in the Talent Search process to see if you can qualify for ATYP, you may find the following resources helpful. The powerpoint presentation walks you through the process of registering for the talent search. There is still one SAT Preview Seminar being held in January. There are testing options available throughout the winter and spring - however, the first deadline is Dec. 26 and the last deadline is April 30, 2013.

A qualifying SAT/ACT score in your mailbox does not automatically register you for ATYP. If you have taken the SAT/ACT and have not heard from our office by May 1, or one month after test taking, (whichever is later), please contact us to make sure we have received your scores. If you did not have your SAT/ACT scores sent to the ATYP office when you registered for the test, please mail/email/fax us a copy of the scores.
Letters are sent to all testing students at the end of April (if we have a copy of your scores), regardless of whether you qualify. Qualifying students can then receive a registration form. Completion of the registration form and receipt of your $50 registration fee is required for your registration to be complete. This form is not available online, and is sent only to qualifying students once test scores have been reviewed.

If you have any questions regarding receipt of test scores, qualification, or the registration process, please do not hesitate to call us at 269-387-3230 or email .
