The College has an "open door" admissions policy. It insures that all persons who can profit from the post-secondary education have an opportunity to enroll. The College requires certain assessment procedures or Placement Tests for use in course placement. Assessment is not used to determine admission except for students concurrently enrolled in high schools and for those wishing to enroll in "special admissions" programs. Students under the age of 18 or without a high school diploma or G.E.D. may be approved for admissions under special circumstances. Texas students will be required to complete TASP or alternate assessment as stipulated by the State of Texas.
