Admissions Policy

Robeson Community College maintains an "Open Door" policy for all applicants that are high school graduates or hold a high school equivalency certificate (GED) which satisfies North Carolina standards. The College serves all students regardless of race, color, creed, sex, disability, or national origin.

The Open Door policy does not mean that there are no restrictions on admission to specific programs. It does mean that these restrictions are flexible enough to allow students opportunities to improve their educational status by eliminating deficiencies through remedial work. When students are able to meet the specific admission requirements for a given curriculum, they may then be enrolled on a continuous basis as required by their curriculum.

All Robeson Community College admission policies and procedures are updated on an annual basis by the Student Affairs Committee.
