You earned a General Education Diploma (G.E.D.).
You are at least 18 years of age and do not have a diploma or G.E.D (may be admitted by individual approval).
If you are under the age of 18, are no longer enrolled in high school of any kind, and do not have a diploma or a G.E.D., you may be admitted by one of the following:
- A written recommendation of the principal or superintendent of the last high school you attended, or

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.

After you are admitted, but prior to registration, you must either present TASP scores or take the alternative assessment.
