Students admitted under the “Ability to Benefit” provision may enroll in one of the following programs at the short certificate award level: Nurse Assistant, and Plumbing.

First-time Student Admission
A student, who has no prior post-secondary experience, attending any institution for the first time, must submit an application for admission, and an official copy of the high school transcript or GED score report. A first-time student who does not have on file the official high school transcript or GED score report and any additional documents required may be granted conditional admission. No first-time student shall be allowed to enroll for a second semester unless all required admissions records have been received prior to registration for the second semester. If all required admissions records have not been received prior to issuance of first semester grades, the grades will be reported on the transcript, but the transcript will read CONTINUED ENROLLMENT DENIED PENDING RECEIPT OF ADMISSIONS RECORDS . This notation will be removed from the transcript only upon receipt of all required admissions records.
ADMISSION STATUS TYPES
There are two types of admission acceptance status: 1) unconditional and 2) conditional . Students who have submitted all required documentation may be admitted as unconditional status. Students who have not submitted all required documentation may be admitted as conditional status. Failure to provide documentation by the end of the first semester, as determined by local institution calendars, will prevent a student from future registration and official transcript release.
