Admissions Process for New and Returning Students

Obtain a residency determination at ncresidency.org. 
The residency determination must be done prior to your application submission.
 

number 2

  

Once you have chosen a degree program, complete the online admissions application.
(Note: Students interested in transferring to a four-year college/university should enroll as a degree-seeking student in the University Transfer program of choice.)
 

number 3

  

Degree seeking students must request and submit an official, final high school transcript or high school equivalency scores.
(Note:  Students who have earned an Associate Degree or higher from an accredited college or university may waive this requirement if transcripts documenting higher degrees are received.)
 

number 4

  

If you are seeking transfer credit or need prerequisite verification, submit an official transcript for colleges/universities attended.

Some students may need to take the college’s placement test to determine English and math course placement.  Placement and/or course eligibility is primarily determined by high school GPA after the high school transcript is received.  Such things as higher degrees, ACT/SAT scores, or transfer credit may exempt you from testing.  To determine if placement testing is needed, call 336-506-4270 or visit the College’s Placement Testing page.
