Admission to the accelerated degree programs requires an admission process separate from general admission to Cecil College. Through Accelerated Studies for the Adult Professional (ASAP) programs, degrees are offered in a cohort format with program cycles beginning in January and August.
Cecil College honors an "open door" admission policy. Although students are able to enroll in a wide range of courses and programs based on assessment results, a number of programs are based on selective admission criteria. The College's accelerated degree programs are selective admissions.
Both academic and workplace expereinces are included in the selection criteria. Students are encouraged to call an academic advisor to discuss the admissions process and selective criteria used to screen candidates for these programs.
