Admissions Requirement
- Students must have a high school diploma or GED
- You are not required to submit ACT, SAT, Accuplacer or ASSET scores to be considered for admission. While not required, we encourage all first-year applicants under the age of 23 to submit official scores for full scholarship consideration. We will offer you the best scholarship award possible based on either your GPA alone or the combination of GPA and test scores. The college's ACT identification number is 2458.
- If you are accepted with a provision, the absent information must be submitted within your first semester or session on campus, or you will be dismissed at the end of that semester.
- 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.
Here's what you'll need to do in order to complete the application process:
