Prerequisites

  Students applying for admission must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a high school graduate, have obtained a General Education Development (GED) certificate, or an equivalent home school credential.
  • Satisfactorily complete Valley College's Admissions Assessment.

All applicants for admission are required to supply the college with evidence of high school graduation, or GED completion by class start date. An official form which students may use to request these records from their high school is available from the Admissions Office.

Application for Admission and Enrollment

To be considered for admission, prospective students must:

  • Submit a completed enrollment Questionnaire/Application.
  • Be individually interviewed by an Admissions Representative who will answer questions and provide a tour of the facilities.
  • Satisfactorily complete Valley College's Admissions Assessment.

Prospective students who do not have a high school diploma or GED are referred to GED testing centers. Information pertaining to career opportunities and the occupational outlook is available from the Admissions Office.

Advanced Standing/Credit Transfer

Credit for prior education is granted to incoming students if it is appropriate to the course or program in which the student has enrolled at Valley College. Students who request advanced standing are required to complete a series of tests to measure their current level of knowledge. Each test is correlated with the final test administered in a course. NOTE: Some courses require student participation and do not lend themselves to advanced standing (i.e. Practical Application and Employability Skills).

A transcript or other documentation of previous education may be required for review by the Director and in individual cases may be accepted in lieu of testing. Students interested in obtaining advanced standing should contact the Admissions Representative prior to the first day of class.

Veterans Administration regulations require veterans with prior related education and training to take advanced standing tests. The student's training period at the school and tuition will be reduced accordingly.
