Description: General Admission

Admission to Atlantic Cape Community College is available to all applicants who are 18 years of age or older and whose high school class has graduated. Applicants who have graduated from an accredited secondary or preparatory school, or those with a state equivalency certificate are accepted to ACCC. Applicants must complete an application and pay the non-refundable application fee. Applicants under 18 years of age, not currently enrolled in high school, and not having a high school diploma or GED, do not qualify for admission to a community college.

College acceptance does not necessarily mean that students can enroll in any course or program offered. In addition to general admission requirements, Allied Health and Culinary Arts have specific program admission criteria, prerequisite courses, and fees, which must be satisfied before students are considered for program entry.

Students seeking a degree or registering for courses requiring English or Mathematics prerequisites, must take the New Jersey College Basic Skills Placement Test (NJBSPT). Part-time or non-degree seeking students who complete eleven credits must take the NJBSPT before registering for additional courses. The number of credit hours that students enroll in may be contingent upon test results and previous academic accomplishments. Requests for additional information concerning admission should be directed to the Admissions Office. Applications should be received by July 1 for entry in the Fall semester, November 1, for the Spring.

ACCC does not discriminate in admission or access to its programs and activities on the basis of race/color, national origin, religion/creed, disability, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation or veteran's status.
