Admissions

Halifax Community College implements the open-door policy established by the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges. This policy provides admission to any person who is 18 years of age or older or is a high school graduate from an accredited institution or has received a high school equivalency credential. A “Certificate of Attendance” does not constitute high school graduation nor is the certificate deemed equivalent to high school completion. This policy does not necessarily imply immediate admission to any curriculum. Placement in certain programs is limited, and admission to a specific program of study is based on guidelines developed to ensure the student’s chances of success in the program. The College serves all individuals who can benefit from instruction regardless of race, creed, gender, age, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, or other factors.
