Admissions > Enrollment

Students will be admitted into their chosen programs with a proviso that they must meet test scores or take all necessary pre-requisite courses associated with the courses in their degree programs. Allied Health applicants will be admitted in the Associate in Science program until space is available in their desired program and they meet all pre-requisites necessary to begin the clinical portion of their chosen allied health field. Students will be admitted into the Allied Health fields by the Allied Health departments.

A student may also enter the College as an 'undeclared' student. An undeclared student is one who wishes to take courses for self-improvement or to transfer to another institution, instead of entering a curriculum program. Undeclared students are not eligible for financial aid. An undeclared status student may take up to fifteen (15) credit hours. In order to exceed 15 credit hours, the student must sign a waiver form. Waiver forms are available in the Registrar's Office. Student with 'undeclared' status must meet course pre-requisites and admissions test scores.

'Transient' students are those who are already enrolled in another institution and wish to take courses to transfer back to the parent institution. No testing will be required if written permission is provided from the parent institution.

GENERAL PROCEDURES:
  1. The student takes the appropriate placement tests.
  2. The student is accepted into his/her program and advised to take courses or pre-requisites to program courses, depending on the placement test scores.
  3. An appropriate advisor will be assigned to all accepted students. Students who test into zero level reading or writing classes will be assigned an advisor with expertise to develop a plan to move students through their developmental courses into their program coursework.
