An Open Admissions Policy

Students at RACCThe College has an "open admissions" policy, which means that any student who has received their high school diploma or GED certificate will be accepted and may enroll in courses upon completion of the placement test. Also, students with other qualifications that indicate the potential for success will be considered for admission on an individual basis. College entrance examinations such as the SAT or ACT are not required.

Though you are required to submit your high school or GED records and transcripts from any other colleges you have attended to complete your application, these records are only used for course selection purposes and admission into a small number of selective programs.

View application deadlines, placement testing and registration dates for upcoming semesters here.

Selective Programs

RACC's open admissions policy does not guarantee acceptance into a specific program of study. Some programs have requirements that must be met in order for students to secure licensure or certification upon completion of the program. Other factors include limitations on enrollment based upon availability of college or community facilities used for practice experience. These programs may consider your academic performance in both high school and college, in addition to other factors, when making decisions about program qualifications.
