Admissions Categories

Minimum admissions requirements are established for each program. Students are admitted to a technical college in one of the following categories: Regular; Provisional; Special; Pending; or Transient.

Regular Status

Students who meet all requirements for admission into a selected program and are eligible to take all courses in the program curriculum are granted regular admission status.

Provisional Status

Students who do not meet all requirements for regular admission into a selected program are granted provisional admission status. Provisionally-admitted students may take learning support classes, and certain specified occupational courses as long as class pre- and co-requisites are satisfied.

Students initially admitted on a provisional basis must have satisfactorily completed the necessary prerequisite and learning support course work in order to progress through the State Standard Curriculum.

Special Admit Status (Non-Credential Seeking)

Applicants who wish to take credit coursework, but are not seeking a certificate, diploma, or associate degree are granted special admit status. The following specifics define the parameters of this status:

  1. May apply up to a maximum of 25 quarter or 17 semester credit hours into a specific program for credential-seeking purposes after achieving regular admit status. The number of hours taken as a special admit student in no way waives the requirements of the regular admission process.
  2. May enroll in classes only on a space-available basis.
  3. Should adhere to the specific institutional prerequisite requirements when selecting courses.
  4. Will not be eligible for any financial aid.

Pending Status – High School Seniors Only

Applicants who are in their final year of high school and are applying for a college term immediately after they graduate are granted Pending Admit status. The following specifics define the parameters of this status:

  1. Applicants must submit a transcript showing the applicant is on track for completing all required high school courses before the semester they wish to enroll. A letter from the high school confirming the pending completion is encouraged to be sent with the transcript.
  2. Will be allowed to register for courses after the course placement requirements have been met.
  3. These applicants are not eligible for federal financial aid until a final high school transcript has been received.

Transient Status

Students who submit a Transient Agreement Letter from their home institution are granted Transient admission status. The Transient Agreement Letter should verify that the student is in good standing and should list the courses the student is eligible to take. A current Transient Agreement Letter is required for each term of enrollment.
