Admissions

The college offers credit and non-credit courses. Credit courses are designed to apply toward a degree.

You may enroll in credit courses without seeking a degree as a Non-Degree Seeking student. Non-credit courses are designed to meet the needs of citizens in the community and do not require previous high school and college transcripts.

Continuing Education offers personal enrichment and professional development classes (non-credit) that do not require previous high school and college transcripts.
