General Admissions Requirements for Curriculum Programs

Applicants for admission to Randolph Community College must be 18 years of age or high school graduates. The College will accept students with a high school equivalency diploma. A high school diploma or the equivalent is required of all applicants enrolling in curriculum courses.

Special consideration may be given on an individual basis to students not meeting these specific entrance requirements.

For students who have not earned a high school diploma or GED certificate, taking an ability-to-benefit test may be an option. If so, the student will be referred to the appropriate office for further discussion. If the ability-to-benefit test is taken, a passing score must be achieved in order to enroll.

Randolph Community College will admit high school students between the ages of 16 and 18 to appropriate courses at the College. Guidelines established by RCC and area schools will be observed.

Persons intending to enroll in a specific curriculum are encouraged to submit their applications at least two months prior to the term in which they wish to enroll.

Applicants are not admitted into specific curriculum programs, and thus, not eligible for financial aid until admission requirements are met (i.e. transcripts, testing, etc.).

Applications can be obtained from high school counselors and from Student Services.
This office is open from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., on Friday.

For admissions information, call Student Services, (336) 633-0224. If needed, individual appointments may be made by personally speaking with a counselor at (336) 633-0224.

Developmental Studies courses exist as prerequisites to General Education courses. The College uses the Assessing Student Success Entry Transfer/Computerized Adaptive Assessment and Support System (ASSET/COMPASS) test to determine whether students have met Developmental Studies prerequisites for General Education courses. This test is given as part of RCC's admissions process. In place of the College's testing, students may present appropriate, prior college credit or adequate SAT, ACT, or Accuplacer test scores to document their meeting these prerequisites.
