Admissions Waiver and Provisional Acceptance

Admissions Waiver

Admissions waivers are available, for the student’s first semester only, to designated student groups, providing them the opportunity to take curriculum courses without meeting  the required SAT, ACT or ACCUPLACER testing scores.

Designated student groups are defined as follows:

• Applicants who have earned a Bachelor’s Degree, or advanced degree, and who meet all other requirements for his/her chosen program
• Applicants who have graduated from high school within one year of application; who are LIFE Scholarship eligible; and who meet  all other requirements for his/her chosen program 
• Applicants who apply for designated evening programs
• Admissions Representatives will have the authority to offer waivers based on special circumstances following an interview with an applicant

If a student enters a curriculum course via an admissions waiver and is unsuccessful in that course, the Faculty Advisor will: direct the student to take the ACCUPLACER test (if applicable); complete a Change of Curriculum form (if applicable); register the student into the course level identified by the ACCUPLACER, SAT or ACT score.

A waiver will only be offered once.

Provisional Acceptance Policy

Provisionally acceptance refers to students who are eligible for admissions but did not submit appropriate high school credentials.  To be provisionally accepted to Florence-Darlington Technical College, students must meet required program placement scores.  To receive Federal funding through Financial Aid, students must have accredited high school credentials.
