Admission Under Special Conditions

Provisional Student: Students whose records are not complete may be permitted to enter the College as provisional students. A provisional student will be required to complete the placement examinations and to submit all required transcripts prior to the end of the term in which he/she enrolls. No provisional student will be certified for veterans´ benefits or federal financial aid awards until full admissions status is awarded.

Special Credit Students: Students not seeking a certificate, diploma or associate degree may enroll as a special credit student for a maximum of twelve (12) semester hours of credit. Students enrolled in this status are not required to take the placement test for enrollment into curriculum courses that do not have prerequisites and do not have to meet the transcript requirements for curriculum programs. Special students must take the placement test in order to enroll into courses which have prerequisite requirements.
Students classified as "special credit students" are ineligible to receive most types of financial aid. Students who desire to take more than twelve (12) semester hours of credit must take the placement test, complete the regular admission requirements and declare a major.

Dual or Concurrent Enrollment Students: Qualified high school students at least 16 years of age may enroll in courses at the 100 level or above if written permission (dual enrollment form) is obtained from their school principal (or designee). These courses allow students to earn college credit and may also count as high school credit at the discretion of the high school administration. Dual enrollment students must have satisfactory results on the placement examination, ACT or SAT scores for their particular classes taken. These students are not allowed to displace adult students, and therefore must register on the last day of late registration during designated hours.

Cooperative Programs for High School Students: Cooperative program classes are curriculum classes numbered 100 level or above that are requested by the local school systems that may be difficult to offer as a regular high school course due to expensive equipment, facilities, or staffing. Students must be qualified high school students in grades 9-12, and must have satisfactory results on placement examinations (if required) for their particular classes. High school students enrolled in these classes receive college and high school credit under the guidelines of the Huskins Bill.

Intellectually Gifted and Mature Students Under 16 Years Old: Vance-Granville Community College has set guidelines based on State Board Adopted Rule 23 NCAC02C.0305(f) concerning admission criteria for Intellectually Gifted and Mature Students under 16 years of age who have had successful experiences which reasonably predict their ability to make satisfactory progress at the institution. All inquiries for this program must be directed to the Vice President of Student Affairs.
