Coastal Carolina Community College maintains an open door admissions policy for all applicants. The College serves students regardless of race, creed, sex, national origin, age, or physical handicap. Selective placement of individual students in the different programs of study within the College is determined by the admissions office, within the guidelines established by the State Board of Community Colleges and the North Carolina Community College System for each program of study and course offered.
An applicant for admission to a curriculum program of study at Coastal Carolina Community College must be a high school graduate or have GED scores (recognized by a state accredited provider) which qualify as a high school equivalency certificate within any of the fifty states or an equivalent secondary education approved by the Admissions Office.
A "certficate of attendance" does not constitute high school graduation nor is the certificate deemed equivalent to high school completion.
A student desiring to transfer to Coastal Carolina Community College must be able to meet the admissions requirements in effect at the time of application.
To enroll in courses offered in Continuing Education, a student should be eighteen (18) years of age or older. Individuals ages 16 and 17, can be served if a minor applicant form is provided before class. Certain classes require a background check, placement test, and/or high school diploma or GED. North Carolina legislation states that a student enrolling in the same occupational extension course more than twice within a five-year period will be subject to additional charges.
The admissions office provides admissions assistance and academic advisement at the main campus and our offices aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station New River. Academic counselors assist students with educational and occupational decisions, admissions, and advisement throughout the student's enrollment with the College. The intent is to provide assistance for continued student success. As an integral part of the student's educational process, personal counseling services are available to assist the student in achieving his/her educational goal.
Equal Education Opportunity and Equal Employment Opportunity
No person shall on the basis of race, color, creed or religion, age, sex, national origin, or physical disability status, except where age or physical disabilities are found to be a bona fide occupational qualification, be excluded from employment or participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subject to discrimination under any program or activity of this institution.
It is the policy of this institution not to discriminate on the basis of sex in the admission requirements, educational programs, activities, or employment policies as required by Title IX in the Educational Amendments of 1972.
In conformance with the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and other applicable laws and regulations, Coastal Carolina Community College will not discriminate against any student, employee, or applicant for admission or employment because of physical disabilities.
The main campus of Coastal Carolina Community College has been designed with the elimination of physical obstacles so that buildings, washrooms, laboratories, and classrooms are readily accessible to and usable by those with physical disabilities.
Any student or applicant for admission with a disability who wishes to request some accommodation must contact the admissions office and ask for the Coastal Carolina Community College Request for Accommodation form. If accommodation is not requested in advance in order to provide the College sufficient and adequate time to meet the student's or applicant’s needs, Coastal cannot guarantee the availability of a reasonable accommodation when it is needed.
Any student or prospective student who believes that discrimination has limited any educational opportunity, or any College employee who believes employment rights have been denied on the basis of discrimination, or any individual who desires information concerning this policy should contact the following designated responsible employee.
