Certain programs accredited by the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) require applicants to complete a written entrance examination as part of the admissions assessment process. The written entrance exam is designed to evaluate the applicant’s ability to read, comprehend, and respond to a short English passage, followed by multiple-choice questions. The purpose of this assessment is to ensure that applicants possess the minimum language comprehension skills necessary to successfully participate in the program. The test will be conducted on campus under the supervision of the Admissions Officer to ensure the integrity and proper administration of the assessment.

It also supports identifying essential field placement functions that may be used with other selection criteria in screening potential applicants for a professional curriculum or field placement.

Students are strongly encouraged to meet the Program Coordinator to discuss program accommodation requirements before applying.

The program requires testing before an admission decision is made. Students may contact their Program Coordinator well in advance before the assessment date to ensure arrangements are made for test accommodations.

Students with a documented disability, such as a learning disability, medical or mental health condition, physical, visual, hearing, or mobility impairment, may qualify for test accommodations.

Failure to Meet Minimum Requirements: Applications will be rejected if they do not meet the minimum academic, language proficiency, or other prerequisites set for the respective program. These requirements are detailed in the program-specific admission criteria.

Failure to Pay Required Fees: Failure to pay application fees or tuition deposits within the stipulated deadlines may result in rejection.
