In accordance with Peninsula College Board Policy 401, all students seeking to enroll in classes must make application to the College. Peninsula College operates under an open door admissions policy and shall accept for admission any applicant who:
- Is competent to profit from the curricular offering of the College; and
- Would not, by presence or conduct, create a disruptive atmosphere within the College inconsistent with the purposes of the institution; and
- Is eighteen years of age or older, or who:
- is a high school graduate or equivalent, or
- has applied for admission under the provisions of a student enrollment options program such as Running Start, a successor program, or other local enrollment options program.
(Additional restricted admissions criteria shall apply to persons under the age of 18 and will apply through the Underage Enrollment Procedure.)
PLACEMENT INTO ENGLISH AND MATH
All incoming degree- and certificate-seeking students are evaluated for English and math placement before registering in courses including for:
- students who completed college-level work at a regionally accredited college or university, including transferrable college-level English and math with a GPA of at least 2.0, or
- students who have an approved placement reciprocity agreement through another Washington State Community or Technical College, or
- students who are pursuing short-term certificates that do not require mathematics or English prerequisites.
Placement in English and math courses may be completed in a variety of ways. You may hear these placement methods called "multiple measures", which refers to a range of means by which students can be placed in math or English courses. You can find a list of the multiple measures options at the Assessment and Placement Center or on the College website.
READMISSION TO THE COLLEGE
If you have been away from Peninsula College, not enrolling in classes for 4 quarters (including Summer), you will need to reapply. Reapplying includes:
- Completing the readmit application online, stating the quarter you wish to return
- Submit any transcripts or test scores for any classes you have taken at another institution while away
- Consider applying for financial aid using the FAFSA at the same time so any eligible funding is awarded
Please Note: If you are completing a degree, you will be required to complete the requirements in effect at the time of your readmission.
