1. Submit a completed application and a $15 nonrefundable application fee to the Office of Admissions.

2. Submit an official (in a sealed envelope) copy of high school transcript or GED scores to the Office of Admissions. (Transcript request forms are available in the Office of Admissions.)

3. Submit an official (in a sealed envelope) copy of all post-secondary transcripts to the Office of Admissions. Veterans must submit a copy of Form DD214 to verify courses completed in the military. (Transcript request forms are available in the Office of Admissions.)

4. Take the ASSET placement test. In lieu of the ASSET, official scores on the SAT, ACT, CPE, or COMPASS may be submitted. These scores may be accepted provided that they are no more than five years old. Official transcripts from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution, documenting successful completion (a grade of C or better) in equivalent, program-level English and math courses may be submitted in lieu of taking the placement test. Reasonable accommodations may be made for students with documented disabilities. (Please notify the Office of Admissions prior to the scheduled test date.)

5. Applications are processed and the names of applicants are placed on a list of programs on a first-come, first-served priority, except in competitive admission programs. Because of the increasing demand for technical training, the chances of being accepted in the desired program are better if a student applies early. Students are notified by mail of their acceptance into a program, and are mailed a time and date to report for registration.

NOTE: Certain certificate programs do not require a high school diploma or GED. Placement tests are not required for special admission (non-degree/diploma/certificate) students unless recommended by the Admissions Office. Recommendation will be based on educational data listed on the Application for Admission. Contact the Office of Admissions for details.
