    • A written recommendation of the principal or superintendent of the last high school you attended, or
    • TASP or alternative assessment results indicating you have the ability to benefit from the programs at the college.
  • If you are 16, did not graduate from an accredited school, but did graduate from a non-accredited high school, or were schooled in a non-traditional setting (i.e., home-schooled), you may be admitted if you meet all of the following conditions:
  • Present a written recommendation of the principal or superintendent of the last school you attended, or TASP or alternative assessment results indicating you have the ability to benefit from the programs; and
  • Present a notarized record of the high school equivalent work completed and the date of successful completion; and
  • Complete the enrollment agreement noting you understand and accept that academic freedom and the collegiate environment is supported in all courses within the college, and
  • Agree to limitations on conditions of admission established by the college.
