Admissions

Welcome to Your College Journey

At Atlantic Cape Community College, we believe college should be within reach for everyone. As an open-enrollment college, all you need is a high school diploma or GED to get started - no application essays or stress-inducing interviews required. We welcome all students who are ready to take that next step, whether you're just starting out, coming back, or looking to pick up a few courses.

To help you afford college, we offer Financial Aid, Scholarships, Grants, and even Tuition-Free* College options for eligible students. Your path to a degree, a better job, or a brighter future can start right here.

Before You Hit Submit

Here’s a quick heads-up to make the application process smoother.

Trust us - it's worth the read.

You’ll need to create an account first, then choose the application that fits you best (we’ll explain each one in a moment). If our system says you already have an account, don’t worry. It likely means you took a class with us before, maybe through Kids College or another program. Just follow the prompts to reset your password. If you need help, we’re happy to assist. Email admissions@atlanticcape.edu or call (609) 343-5000.
