Students who have completed high school in another country must present a copy of their diploma in the student’s native language and translated into English.

In order to receive State or Federal funding, students are required to have graduated from a high school within the United States, or have a GED, or have passed a federally-approved exam demonstrating the students can benefit from the education offered. The test must be independently administered and evaluated.

Students with high school diplomas from other countries are not eligible for TAP awards unless they pass the federally approved Ability-To-Benefit (ATB) test in order to be eligible.

Veterans may present a copy of a fully completed Department of Defense form DD-214 indicating that the applicant has completed high school prior to or during his/her armed forces services.

Applicants may also present an official transcript from an accredited college which indicates that the base of the applicant’s admission into that college was graduation from high school.

Prospective students will have a personal interview with a member of the Registration Office Staff. The interview is important in assisting the school and the applicant in clarifying the suitability of a program for the individual participant. Applicants who indicate an interest in skills training and other related services will be given an orientation to the school and to the services available through the program.

All applicants must visit the Registration Office to meet with an advisor to complete the application for admission and schedule an appointment for the Admissions Placement Examination. An admissions counselling interview will be scheduled to discuss the results of the placement examination as they relate to the applicant’s program and various options will be presented. In order to provide each applicant with the best information possible, the applicant will be fully apprised of program requirements, support services, class schedules and the registration procedures.
