ADMISSION (CURRICULUM PROGRAMS)

Montgomery Community College is a state-supported institution operating under an "open door" admission policy. This means that any person, whether a high school graduate or non-graduate, who is 18 years old or older and who is able to benefit from further formal education will be served by the institution. In addition, MCC permits the enrollment of undocumented nonimmigrant applicants in curriculum programs. Undocumented nonimmigrant applicants do not qualify for in-state residency for tuition and shall be charged at the out-of-state rate for curriculum programs.

The open door policy does not mean there are no restrictions on admission into specific programs. It does mean these restrictions are flexible enough to allow students opportunities for admission into specific programs when they demonstrate aptitude for these programs as determined by personal interest, academic background, placement tests, and personal interviews. If an academic deficiency exists, applicants will be given an opportunity to remove the deficiency by taking preparatory work.

Persons between 16 and 18 years of age who have special needs may be considered for admission with the approval of the local superintendent of schools and/or parents or guardian. Montgomery Community College and the Montgomery County Board of Education have a dual enrollment agreement for high school students age 16-18. High school students may earn college credit which may be applied to a degree at Montgomery Community College or transferred to another college while completing the normal requirements for high school graduation.

For information on college costs: Tuition Information

All admission procedures should be completed at least four weeks prior to actual enrollment into a program. However, some curriculum programs at Montgomery Community College have limited enrollment and prospective students are advised to apply early. When an enrollment quota for a class/program has been filled or the class/program has a specific prerequisite requirement, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list and notified by the Admissions Office. When all information is received, the applicant's academic record will be assessed and the applicant will be notified concerning acceptance and enrollment procedures. An applicant applying fewer than four weeks prior to enrollment may be notified to follow registration procedures as a walk-in student on Registration Day.

Individual degree, diploma, and certificate programs may have additional requirements. Please consult the MCC Catalog for more information.
