The College has a rolling admissions policy. Applications are acted upon and students are notified of admission within approximately 30 days

of receipt of all application materials. The College is committed to open admissions with the following requirements:

1. Receipt or Completion of a high school diploma or the Test of General Education Development (GED) certificate.
   
   
2. A person who has neither a high school diploma nor a GED certificate may be admitted if that person demonstrates potential for being a successful college student. These students must meet with a counselor and additional testing may be required.
   
   
3. Admission to the College does not guarantee admission to college-level courses. Some of the courses and programs may have prerequisites.
   
   
4. When choosing courses and programs, students should consider their aptitude, interest, and ability to benefit from the instruction. Counseling and testing services may help prospective students in selecting appropriate programs and courses. Certain programs may stipulate entrance criteria required by program accrediting or licensing agencies.
   
   
5. Lack of English skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation.  In order to eliminate barriers we take appropriate measures to assess each student's ability to participate and benefit through assessment testing and counseling.  Based on the assessment and counseling, students are then provided with campus services or a referral to community services to be better prepared for successful participation.
