A. A graduate of a high school which is accredited by a regional accrediting association as defined by the United States Office of Education or approved by a State Board of Education or other appropriate state educational agency, or

B. A person who has completed a GED certificate of high school equivalency, or

C. A transfer student in good standing from another college or university, or

D. A mature person who is 18 years of age or older and demonstrates evidence of potential to succeed at CCC. (A student admitted in this category who is not a high school graduate or a GED completer will be encouraged to attain a GED prior to completion of 15 hours at CCC.) Mature student applicants may be required to complete testing and other assessment activities designed to help the College determine their ability to benefit from college-level instruction. They are restricted to enrollment of 12 credit hours or fewer each semester with advisor approval required.

2. Eligible for “Special Student” Admission

A. A student not meeting any of the provisions for “Regular Student” Admission (listed above) may be admitted on an individual basis with the approval of College officials and, as appropriate, the consent of parents and recommendation of the student’s school. This includes, but is not limited to, students under 18 and those still enrolled in high school. For students still enrolled in high school, completion of the 10th grade is a requirement for admission as a special student.

B. A special student must meet the established requirements of the course(s) for which he/she chooses to enroll, and College officials must determine that admission is in the best interest of the student. For example, a special student seeking admission to attend an algebra class must be qualified to enter a mathematics course at that level; qualification in this case would be determined by a placement examination, or ACT/SAT scores and high school grades.

C. A student who is under age 18 and scores a composite of 22 or higher on the American College Test (ACT), or a composite (verbal and mathematics) of 930 or more on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) may be admitted. A student who shows evidence of such test scores shall not be denied admission because of age, lack of a high school diploma or high school certificate or equivalency (GED), grade in school, lack of permission of school officials, or lack of concurrent enrollment in public or private school; however the College requires parental permission for those under 18. A student admitted in this category is not guaranteed admission to a specific degree program or to all courses offered by the College, and may enroll for a maximum of 6 credit hours unless special arrangements have been made and approved prior to the registration period.

D. All special student applicants should contact Admissions and Records for more information and required forms.

E. Applicants with status "SP" are limited to 6-8 credit hours or 2 classes; advisor approval is required.

3. International Students

At present, Coconino Community College is not approved as a study site for students who are not United States citizens except persons lawfully admitted to the United States as immigrants. CCC is not authorized to issue I-20 documents nor will full-time attendance at CCC by a non-citizen satisfy F-1 student status. International students with a visa status other than F-1, as well as those F-1 visa students attending and in status at Northern Arizona University, may be eligible for limited study at CCC. A minimum TOEFL score of 450 is required. Contact Admissions and Records for further information.
