Individuals who have not been enrolled in an accredited high school within the past five years may be considered non-traditional. Applicants must either have graduated from high school or satisfied requirements for the General Educational Development (GED) Equivalency Certificate. Non-traditional students are exempt from College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) requirements.
  • must not have attended high school in the previous five years.
  • must request to have an official transcript of all high school work completed or official GED results (if applicable) sent directly to the Admissions Office.  Effective August 1, 2006, GED test score reports must be mailed directly from the Georgia Department of Adult and Technical Education Office of Adult Literacy/GED Testing Service .  Please take note that processing of official GED transcript requests from the Georgia Department of Adult and Technical Education can take up to four weeks. 
  • whose names on transcripts and immunization records differ from their current names should make sure all documentation submitted includes their current names.

    Non-traditional applicants are required to take the Compass Exam in reading, English, and mathematics before they register for courses. The Compass exam screens students for possible remediation and is given by the College at no charge to the student.
