Admissions
The school requires that applicants meet five specific criteria to gain acceptance to the school. In addition to printing and completing a paper application and submitting ACT scores, applicants must have all high school and college, if applicable, transcripts sent directly the admissions office. Applicants who have earned a GED are required to use the GED score request form to have their score sent to the college.
Applicants must also submit immunization records and a copy of their social security cards. Only after applicants have submitted the necessary information will they receive notification of whether they have been accepted.
Specific programs may have additional admissions requirements. Students applying for a program in the health sciences, for example, must pass both a drug test and a criminal background check and must submit, in addition to their social security card, photo identification.
Applicants interested in the dual enrollment program, which allows high school students to earn college credits while still in high school, must meet specific criteria, including maintaining an overall 2.5 GPA and having completed at least 14 high school credits. A principal or guidance counselor must also provide a letter with his or her unconditional recommendation of the applicant to the program.
Financial Aid
Financial aid opportunities are abundant here and through outside sources. Many students use grants, scholarships, and loans to fund their college endeavors, and the financial aid office provides assistance to ensure students secure the necessary funding.

Residential
Unlike the majority of community colleges, which are commuter-only schools, this college offers on-campus living. The residential halls feature double rooms in secure buildings. Amenities in the residential halls include wireless internet access and access control cards.
Recipients of the Pell Grant, who can afford to pay for their room and board, are given first consideration for on-campus housing. Students interested in on-campus housing must meet certain eligibility requirements, including maintaining a full-time class schedule and a minimum 2.0 GPA.
Student Activities
The hub of student life is the Student Union, where students can hang out between classes, catch up with friends, and make new friends. The Student Union also offers plenty of activities: Billiards, bingo, cards, checkers, dominoes, ping pong, and bowling are all popular among students. In addition to a cafeteria, the Student Union features the Tiger Grill, where students can grab a quick bite to eat.
Students can also get involved in one of the dozens of clubs and organizations on campus. Ambassadors assist the recruitment office, meeting with prospective students and attending on-campus recruitment activities. Politically inclined students, on the other hand, might want to opt for a position with the Student Government Association or with the Dormitory Council, and future leaders can join the Students in Free Enterprise.
