Admission Procedures and Requirements

Rockingham Community College has an open door admissions policy for persons 18 years of age and over. The college will admit selected students between the ages of 16 and 18 or otherwise emancipated minors. Persons still enrolled in secondary schools must have the consent of the appropriate school official. State Board of Community Colleges Policy prohibits Rockingham Community College from serving students under the age of 16 in curriculum and literacy programs.

A high school diploma or the equivalent is required for admission to any curriculum program. Admission to a specific course of study is based upon guidelines developed to help the student determine his/her chances of success in that course of study. These guidelines allow the counselor and the student to evaluate the student’s chances of success in a particular program. When specific programs of study are filled, applicants for that program may be placed on a waiting list, enrolled in related work or enrolled in an alternate program of study.
