Admissions Requirements

Persons seeking admission must have completed the following college preparatory curriculum in high school: four units of basic English (grammar, composition, and literature); two units of laboratory science (biology, chemistry, physics, and other theory-based courses with a strong laboratory science orientation); two units of mathematics including algebra and higher; and three units of social studies, including U.S. History. Also highly recommended, but not required, are one unit of physical education and one of foreign language. (Students planning to enter engineering-related or science programs are encouraged to have units of advanced algebra and trigonometry.)

Students who are deficient in one or more areas may be admitted to the West Virginia State Community & Technical College until such time as deficiencies are removed.

Students found to be deficient in basic skills on the basis of ACT or proficiency test scores may be required to take developmental courses before enrolling in courses in a regular curriculum.

Acceptance for admission to the College does not necessarily mean admission to a particular degree. Students seeking admission to programs which have limited enrollment or admissions requirements must apply for admission to the individual program as well as for general admission to the College. Students may consult the requirements for associate and bachelor's degrees later on this WEBSITE to determine if application must be made separately for admission to the program.

Admission applications and related documents should be received by the Office of Admissions at least thirty days prior to the start of a semester.

It is suggested that prospective students initiate the application for admission process at least six months prior to the start of the semester in which they wish to begin classes.
