Admission to Seward County Community College (SCCC) may be granted to:

1. A graduate of a high school that is accredited by the Kansas State Board of Education or a recognized regional/state accrediting agency may be granted admission to SCCC.
2. A transfer student with earned credit from other accredited higher educational institution(s) may be admitted. Official transcripts are required from each institution attended. Credit is awarded on the basis of transcript evaluation by the Registrar. A student on academic probation from another institution may be accepted under probationary conditions.
3. A successful completer of the General Education Development (GED) examination may be admitted.
4. Individuals who have not graduated from an accredited high school or who have not successfully completed the GED examination may be granted Special Student Admissions status. Upon successful completion of 12 credit hours at SCCC, a high school diploma, or a GED certificate, the student will be accepted for regular admission; until such time Special Student Admission limits the student to 9 credit hours per semester.
5. High School Juniors & Seniors may be accepted for admission to SCCC with written permission of the high school principal (Concurrent Enrollment). Students below the Junior level and identified as gifted by the local school may be accepted for admission after advisement with college staff; written permission of the school principal, a copy of the Individual Education Plan (IEP), and COMPASS assessment scores are required.
6. International students seeking admission to SCCC must meet all admission requirements and qualify for a Certificate of Eligibility (INS form I-20) to be issued.
7. Personal Development Admissions status may be granted to students wanting to enroll in classes for self-improvement.

SCCC reserves the right to deny admission or re-admission to any individual when the admission could be considered detrimental to the best interests of the college community or if the college is unable to provide the services, courses or programs needed to assist any person in meeting his/her educational objectives.

Admission to SCCC does not guarantee enrollment in specific programs of study such as Nursing, Respiratory Therapy, Surgical Technology, Medical Laboratory Technology, or Cosmetology. Students seeking admission to one of these programs must meet additional requirements specific to that program.
