Admission Eligibility 

You may enroll at College of the Sequoias if you are at least 18 years of age,  or have a high school diploma.

Also, any person having successfully completed the California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) or the General Educational Development Test (G.E.D.) with scores of 45 overall and with no subtest lower than 35 may be admitted.

The college may admit persons 18 years of age or over when the evidence indicates that the individual will benefit from the college level instruction.  Students are encouraged to complete high school prior to enrolling in the college. Students under age 18 who have graduated from high school or passed the CHSPE or the G.E.D. must provide proof.

In addition, under certain circumstances, high school students with permission of their parents and their high school may take COS classes on a space available basis.

As a new student, you must complete an Admissions Application using the Application on the Web. You will then need to take the COS Placement Test. You may sign up in Room 157 or call 730-3737 for more information. If you are under 21, COS will need a copy of your transcripts from the last high school that you attended.

No matter your age, if you have attended other colleges or universities, COS will also need to receive copies of transcripts from any and all institutions for which you have attended. This is required if you wish to obtain Financial Aid or apply for graduation.
