Admissions Policy

We maintain an open admissions policy, but admission to the college does not guarantee admission to all programs. Some programs have specific requirements for admission. Please contact an enrollment coach about any additional enrollment requirements.

Enrollment Coaches are here for you

You have enough to deal with and we don’t want you to go through the process alone. That’s why we have Enrollment Coaches to walk you through admissions and enrollment. They’ll make sure to get you ready to start your new journey.
