Applying to Ohlone College: What Do I Need?

I'm interested in attending Ohlone College and need some guidance on their application process. What documents do I need to submit, and are there any specific requirements? Thanks!

Ohlone College, being a community college, has relatively straightforward application requirements compared to four-year institutions.

You'll need to first complete an online application. The online application usually requests details like your basic demographic information, educational background, and intended area of study at Ohlone College.

You'll also need to have transcripts from your high school, or any centralized exam scores (like GED), available if they request them. This is to confirm you possess the necessary qualifications to study at a college level. If you have attended other colleges or institutions, it's advisable to have those transcripts ready as well.

Remember to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as well, as this is a primary determinant of your eligibility for financial aid. It's also used by the Ohlone College financial aid office to determine your financial aid package if you qualify.

As for specific requirements, Ohlone College operates under an open admission policy, which generally only requires that you have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent. There are, however, certain programs of study that may have additional admission criteria, which could include things like prerequisite course requirements or a separate application process.

Keep in mind that the best resource for the most accurate and updated information is Ohlone College's admissions office itself or their official website. Don't hesitate to reach out to them if you have any other questions during your application process.

Good luck with your application!
