Eligibility

All high school graduates or the equivalent (GED) are eligible for admission to the College. A non-graduate 16 or 17 years of age who has severed his or her connection with the high school system, as certified in writing by the chief executive officer (or designee) of the high school district in which the student has legal residence, or a non-graduate 18 years of age or older, may be admitted if he or she demonstrates the capacity to benefit from programs and courses offered by the College. High school students may be admitted to selected courses upon the written approval of their high school principal (or designee) and the designated College admissions official, and written parental acknowledgement.

To be placed in some programs in the College, the applicant may have to meet additional requirements as specified by that program and/ or the Illinois Public Community College Act.
