SPECIAL STUDENT ADMISSION

​

Students who wish to avail themselves of the training who are not high school graduates may be admitted as special students. Students in this category can receive transcripts but will not be eligible to receive a degree until they have successfully passed the GED tests or received a High School diploma. Therefore, the college may exercise the right to accept or reject students in this category based upon this policy limitation. 

 

Home schooled students who did not pass the ACT or SAT may take the General Education Development (GED) test. This certificate will be accepted in lieu of a high school transcript.

​

• Student must be within nine credit hours of completing his or her current undergraduate (Bachelor) degree.
