Admission Requirements

Specific minimum qualifications are required for admission to certain programs.

These may include:

  • Completion of designated courses with required minimum grade
  • Attainment of minimum cumulative GPA
  • Completion of high school diploma or GED
  • Required number of observation or volunteer hours

The College Catalog lists admission requirements for each program. You can also view requirements on the program webpage. Check the A-Z program list for links.

In a selective admission program, students must complete minimum admission requirements before applying — and only the top-performing students are accepted.

Tri-C does not offer selective admission programs. Rather, programs with specific admission requirements guarantee admission to all students who complete those requirements, whenever they complete them. This is considered “rolling admission.”

A prerequisite is a course that you must successfully complete in order to register for a higher-level course.

You must earn an A, B, C or P (pass) grade to successfully complete a prerequisite course.

Check the course description in the College Catalog to see if your course has prerequisites. You can also click a course title on the online registration screen or in DegreeWorks to view the description.
