Admissions

Through the “open door” admission policy, it is possible for the College to provide educational opportunities for a high school graduate or equivalent, a school leaver 18 years old or older, a school leaver 16 years old who has been granted proper release from a public school system, a high school student in a dual enrollment program, or an individual attending a public school who has obtained required approval.

The “open door” policy does not eliminate the restrictions on admission to specific programs. It does mean that these restrictions will be flexible enough that with careful guidance, students will have every opportunity to prove themselves under good teaching. Students will have the opportunity to remove admissions requirement deficiencies through developmental work. As soon as students can meet the specific admission requirements, they may be considered for admission to any curriculum program.

Applicants are encouraged to complete admission procedures at least 30 days prior to registration. Early application is important since enrollment in some programs may be limited. There is no application fee. Applications and other admission materials may be obtained by visiting or calling the Admissions office at the College, 336- 506-4270, visiting the College’s website (www.alamancecc.edu), or through area high school guidance counselors.

To be admitted to a curriculum program at Alamance Community College, the applicant must be a high school graduate or its equivalent or a high school student enrolled in an approved dual enrollment program. High school equivalency certificates that meet the standards of the North Carolina Board of Education are accepted.
