Admissions

Southeastern Technical College welcomes all prospective students and we offer numerous degree, diploma and certificate programs designed to meet your career interest. Many programs have specific admission requirements and we invite you to call, visit or email us with any questions.

Here are the general admission requirements for an Associate Degree, Diploma or Certificate Program:

Step 1 Submit a completed application and the $15.00 application fee (Georgia Virtual Technical College students must apply on the GVTC website, www.gvtc.org. Follow instructions under the heading "Student Services").

Step 2 Submit an official copy of your high school *transcript or GED scores to the Admissions Office. (Transcript request forms are available in the Admissions Office.);

*Transcripts must be from an institution accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission, a regional accreditation agency (SACS, etc.), the Accreditation Commission for Independent Study (ACIS), or the Georgia Private School Accreditation Council (GAPSAC).

Step 3 Submit an official copy of all postsecondary transcripts to the Admissions Office. (Transcript request forms are available in the Admissions Office.);

Step 4 Take the placement test. Southeastern Technical College assesses students with either the Asset or Compass placement test, by ACT. Asset is a paper and pencil test we schedule once per month. Click here for sample questions on Asset.

Compass is basically the same test, but is offered on the computer. We schedule Compass daily during any given quarter. Click here for sample questions on Compass.

In lieu of the placement test, official scores on the SAT may be substituted. For diplomas, 430 verbal and 400 math or ACT scores of 18 English and 16 for math may be submitted. You may also submit CPE scores of 75-Math, 75-Reading, and 75-English. For degree programs, SAT scores of 480 verbal and 440 math; ACT scores of 25 verbal and 21 math; or CPE scores of 75-Reading, 75-English, and 79-Math may be used. These scores may be accepted provided that they are no more than five years old. Official transcripts from a regionally accredited postsecondary institution documenting successful completion (a grade of "C" or better) in equivalent, program-level English and Math courses may be submitted in lieu of taking the placement test. Reasonable accommodations are made during testing for those who need them. (Please notify the Special Needs Specialist to schedule a test date.)

NOTE: Certain certificate programs do not require a high school diploma, GED, or placement test scores. Placement tests are not required for special admit (non-diploma/non-credit) students unless recommended by the Admissions Office. This recommendation will be based on educational data listed on the Application for Admission. Contact the Admission Office for details.
