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:
- A PHSC Application for Admission indicating the intent to pursue a college credit certificate.
- 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.
