Regular Admission
Regular Admission of students to a program is contingent upon their
meeting statewide admissions requirements and institutional admissions
requirements established for that specific program and upon proper
completion of all admissions procedures.
Provisional
Admission
Provisional Admission of students to a program is based on an evaluation
of test scores and other admission file data by the Office of Admissions
and program faculty and upon proper completion of all admissions
procedures. Provisionally admitted students whose English, math
and/or reading levels do not meet regular admission requirements
must enroll in Learning Support classes. Provisionally admitted
students are allowed to take certain program specific courses as
designated in the program standards. All students initially admitted
on a provisional basis must meet regular program admission requirements
prior to graduation. Provisional admission of transfer students
to a program is contingent upon their meeting applicable licensure
and accreditation requirements.
Learning
Support Admission
Learning Support Admission is granted to students who do not meet
the regular or provisional admission requirements. All students
initially admitted under the Learning Support status must meet regular
program admission requirements prior to graduation. Students classified
in this category are eligible to enroll in Learning Support courses
only or may be referred to Adult Education depending upon test results.
Adult Education and/or Learning Support classes are offered to enable
students to meet recommended standards. Courses include reading,
math, and English, thus improving the student's chances of success
in a regular program of study. Students may also receive English
as a Second Language (ESL) instruction.
Special Status
Admission
Special Status Admission is granted to an applicant who desires
to take credit courses for personal or professional benefit but
who does not plan to earn a degree, diploma, or certificate. The
following parameters apply to this classification:
- Classified
as non-award seeking when granted special student status
by the Office of Admissions.
- Must
adhere to the specific institutional prerequisite requirements
when selecting courses.
- Credit
is received for regular program course work which is satisfactorily
completed.
- Credit
may be received for an unlimited number of courses; but
only 25 credit hours may be applied toward a specific degree,
diploma or certificate program.
- May
apply for regular student status but must meet the requirements
of the regular student admission process. This includes
the college's assessment process. The number of hours taken
as a special student in no way waives the requirements of
the regular admission process.
- A special
admission student must meet regular admission status prior
to graduation.
- A special
admission student is not eligible for federal and state
financial aid.
