Rich Mountain Community College's philisophy is to provide educational opportunities for all citizens within it's geographic area. However, the college recognizes that an optimum balance between accessibility and quality standards must be maintained. The typical student population seeking admission to a community college presents a wide range of aspirations, levels of motivation, and capabilities. In order to attain the desired balance between accessibility and quality standards, procedures are needed to constructively address this diversity. Each student's educational goal, previous academic experience, placement test scores, and interview should be evaluated and should serve as the basis for development of his/her educational plan. Some students seeking admission will be under prepared in certain subject areas and will require developmental courses prior to attempting college-level work.
Students may be required to successfully complete pre-requisites, academic skills courses, English as a Second Language courses, Adult Basic Skills courses and/or GED courses before enrolling in credit classes. For other types of admissions information check the appropriate section in the catalog on the pages that follow.
Admission to the College does not insure admittance to a particular course or program of study. Certain programs, such as Nursing, have special admission requirements and enrollment limitations in addition to the regular admission requirements of the College. These special requirements will be listed with the courses of study, where appropriate.
Special policies governing admissions may also be applied in instances of statutory requirements and/or requirements by a licensing, registering or certifying board.
The college reserves the right to deny admission, readmission or registration for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, failure to make academic progress as outlined in the college catalog, or for the inability of the college to provide services, courses or programs needed to meet educational objectives. If RMCC is unable to provide services, assistance will be provided to help find an appropriate learning environment.
