Admission Policy
Admission is open to all in-district residents of Community College District 518 who are high school graduates or the equivalent (GED), or non-graduates who are at least 18 years of age. Admission to the College does not ensure admission to a particular course or program of study.
Admission is also open to people in the following categories:
- Out-of-district, out-of-state, and foreign country residents.
- Students whose connection with a secondary school is severed. Any student who is 16 or 17 years of age and has severed connection with a secondary school, as certified in writing by the chief executive officer of the secondary school in which the student has legal residence, is eligible to attend Carl Sandburg College.
- Students currently enrolled in a secondary school program. Students currently enrolled in a secondary school program may be accepted into college course(s). If such courses are offered during the regular school day established by the secondary school or are offered for secondary school credit, prior approval of the chief executive officer of the secondary school must be received.
- Admission of students in programs for special groups.
- Students less than 16 years of age who have the approval of the chief executive officer of their school or of the chief executive officer of Carl Sandburg College.
Should it be necessary to limit enrollment, priority will be given to residents of Carl Sandburg College District 518 or to residents of a community college district involved in a cooperative agreement with Carl Sandburg College. The College reserves the right to establish selective admission requirements for any or all programs. All programs and their respective admission requirements will be identified in the College catalog.
Carl Sandburg College will not discriminate in the admission of students on the basis of race, color, creed, sex, sexual preference, disability, or national origin.
International students are welcome at Carl Sandburg College. The College is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students. A pamphlet, "A Guide for International Students," is available upon request in the Admissions and Records Office. This pamphlet explains the admission requirements for international students. Prospective foreign students should contact the international student advisor in the Admissions and Records Office (309/341-5228) to discuss their eligibility for admission.
Each student is encouraged to consult with a professional counselor at Carl Sandburg College in the selection of a program consistent with the student's interests and abilities.
