Enrollment Areas

As an open-admissions institution, CCAC does not require college entrance examinations. To enroll as a full-time student, applicants should have a high school diploma or GED certificate or be at least 18 years of age with experience reasonably equivalent to a GED.

Students are required to submit high school transcripts. Full-time degree-seeking students and students planning to enroll in courses with English, reading and/or mathematics prerequisites are required to take placement tests. Scores on the placement tests help the student and academic advisor determine whether, at the time of registration, the student has the skills necessary to succeed in specific college classes. To help students in this effort, college faculty have assessed the level of difficulty of classes they teach and determined what the appropriate minimum test score should be to successfully begin the class.
