rogram Capacity
The Associate Degree Option has a limited number of seats. In general, the College accepts 30 students.
The criteria describe the MINIMUM standards that must be met in order to be reviewed for admission to this option.
Currently, the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of available seats. Consequently, once it has been
determined that the applicant meets the MINIMUM criteria, he/she is admitted on a rolling admission process.
Wa
itlist Status:
A primary wait list is created for qualified advanced placement applicants who are not initially accepted into the
program. The Wait List is 50% of the option capacity. Once the primary wait list is full, an extended waitlist will be
created. If there is an opening on the primary waitlist, a student from the extended waitlist will be moved to the
primary wait list. Students are admitted to the program from the primary waitlist on a space available basis.
Students who are placed on the primary wait list, and for whom a seat does not open during the current admission
cycle, are given first option on admission for the following year. Those students not moved from the extended
waitlist to the primary wait list will need to reapply. Students can only be deferred one time before being required to
reapply. Students who are accepted or are on the primary waitlist are also required to attend Orientation, no
exceptions.
