What’s Open Admission?

Colleges and universities with an open admission (open enrollment) policy accept all students with a G.E.D. (General Education Development) certificate or high school diploma regardless of grades, or standardized test scores.

Schools with an open admission policy are non-competitive academically, but usually admit students on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Which Colleges Have An Open Admission Policy?

Most community colleges and many 2 year and 4 year schools have an open admission policy. Almost all online colleges and universities have an open admission policy for students.
