College Application
Complete a CVCC Application online, marking "Special Credit" as your program of study. Make a personal visit to the Student Services Office to meet with an Admissions Counselor. A photo ID is required for service. A parent, sibling or friend cannot appear on behalf of the student to process applications. Students may apply online, but must come to Student Services to process the Application for Admission.
Proof of prerequisite coursework/transcripts
Many courses require prerequisites in reading, English, math and computer literacy. Consult the CVCC Course Catalog for particulars. Bring copies of your current college transcripts or SAT/ACT scores as proof of prerequisites. You may not register for CVCC courses without appropriate prerequisites, either completed or currently in progress, and cited on your transcripts. Grades of "D", "F", "I" or "W" in prerequisite coursework are not accepted.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TRANSCRIPTS: BRING ALL OF THEM WITH YOU -- they may be unofficial transcripts for summer school visiting students who attend other schools. CVCC must be able to document WHERE a student took a prerequisite class, WHEN a student took the class and the GRADE the student earned. PLEASE BRING ALL TRANSCRIPTS WITH YOU WHEN YOU PROCESS THE APPLICATION TO THE COLLEGE.
Consult with your home institution before you register at CVCC
CVCC is not responsible for transfer credit at another school, so make sure any classes you take will transfer. Check with your academic advisor or Registrar at your home institution.Taking summer school at CVCC to raise a GPA at your home institution?
