Requirements

Any person 16 years of age or older capable of benefiting from instruction is eligible to apply for admission, regardless of previous education. Applicants will be accepted into educational programs in which they demonstrate a reasonable prospect for success. The Institute reserves the right to admit applicants based upon previous academic achievements and life experiences. To be accepted to Mitchell Tech and placed in a program, students must meet the admissions requirements of the Institute and the requirements established for each program.

Institute requirements are as follows:

• Applicants must have a high school diploma or a high school equivalency certicate (GED) for full-time admission. (High school students requesting dual credit status must receive approval.)
• Applicants must complete the established application process as listed.
• Applicants must meet the requirements of each program. (Program requirements are found in each program section of this catalog.)
• Applicants must meet minimum entrance examination scores. (Remedial courses are offered to students desiring to improve their math and English skills.)

Students unable to meet program requirements may receive conditional acceptance. Students may upgrade conditional acceptance to official acceptance through a committee review, or by successfully completing coursework counting as requirements toward a program with a grade point average of at least 2.00. Upon acceptance, students will be advised of courses and program options. Students may enroll for degree or diploma options. If the program is fully enrolled, students will be placed on a waiting list.

Admission to Mitchell Tech is open to anyone without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sex, handicap, economic status, national origin, or ancestry, in accordance with federal law.
