Admission Information

Admission to a College Credit Certificate program does not require admission to a degree program; however, students enrolled in these programs may opt later to apply to a degree program because many of the required courses are the same.

To be admitted to a College Credit Certificate program, students must ensure the following documents have been received by the Admissions and Student Records office:

  1. A PHSC Application for Admission indicating the intent to pursue a college credit certificate.
  2. An official high school transcript indicating graduation with a standard high school diploma or a Certificate of Completion-CPT eligible (excluding limited access certificates); or an official transcript of GED scores indicating receipt of a high school equivalency diploma. Note: Students who have received special diplomas are not eligible for admission to some College Credit Certificate programs.
