Massasoit Community College has an open enrollment policy in keeping with the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education's "Open Door" philosophy. That is, all high school graduates are offered the opportunity to pursue higher education. All applicants who have obtained a high school diploma, GED Certificate or have demonstrated the Ability to Benefit, will be eligible to be admitted to the college for our "open enrollment" associate degree or certificate programs of study.
Students who have completed a home school diploma, please see: “Policy for Home Schooled Students”.
Youth Learner Enrollment
Students below the traditional age-level for college are welcome at Massasoit Community College and must comply with the Youth Learner Enrollment Policy and Procedures in order to register for credit and non-credit courses.
The "open enrollment" policy does not apply to "selective admissions" programs of study, such as Health and Visual Arts, which may have specific deadlines, prerequisites and other admissions criteria. For details see "Selective Admissions Programs".
