Admissions Process
Admissions Requirements:
Students must have a high school degree or equivalent and attempted one of the following tests: ACT, SAT, Accuplacer, or ASSET. Scores of 18 or higher on the ACT (or equivalent) will allow students to enroll directly to college-level courses.
NCTA does not require a set number of high school courses to be admitted to the college. We do, however, recommend that students complete as many math, science, and English courses as possible to help ensure success while on our campus.
