Entering McCall College

McCall College invites all interested students to apply for admission to the college. Students are admitted without regard to sex, race, religion, sexual preference or ethnic origin; however, attendance at McCall College is a privilege and not a right.

 

The College reserves the right to deny admission or readmission to students with personal problems of any type that interfere with the peace, order, and safety of the campus, or that McCall College does not have resources to manage.

If the requested documentation is not provided, admission will be denied.

 

Conditional Admission

 

Professional Technical applicants who do not meet all the requirements for regular admission may be admitted to the college on a conditional admission status. All conditionally admitted professional-technical students are required to meet with the Professional Technical Counselor or designated person to develop, implement and execute an individualized student learning plan until such time as they are upgraded to a regular admission status. Regular admission status includes the following: completing any required remediation; completing 12 college hours numbered 100 or above; and, attaining a 2.0 grade point average.

 

Applicants who are missing more than two semesters in any one category of the Idaho College Admission Core Standards, or a total of five or more classes, will be considered on an individual basis.

Applicants with less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA or less than a 50/500 GED will be considered on an individual basis.

If admitted with conditional standing, the student is subject to the institutional academic standing policies described above.

Professional Technical students may be denied based on high school transcript grade point average, high school core grade point average, GED score or completion of the college admission core standards.

Professional Technical Program Additional Information

 

Students should be familiar with the demands of a particular occupation and how that occupation matches individual career interests and goals.

While admission to McCall College is required, it does not guarantee entrance into a Professional Technical program. All Professional Technical applicants must complete the Professional Technical Education Center’s admission intake process before being fully admitted to a technical program.

Students who are admitted to professional technical programs must go through admission re-evaluation if they decide to switch to an academic program. Contact the Office of Admission for more details.

 

Credit for Prior Learning Experiences

 

A student seeking hours for prior learning experiences must prepare a portfolio to be evaluated by members of the faculty through the department(s) appropriate for the hours being requested. Any student interested in prior learning assessment should discuss the possibility with the Academic Dean. This preliminary discussion helps determine whether the student's experience warrants a formal assessment by the faculty. If the preliminary contact is encouraging, the student must submit a petition to prepare the portfolio and submit to the Academic Dean. An assessment fee of $50 per course hour sought will be payable upon submission of the petition. In compiling the portfolio, the student must identify the learning, express it in terms of college level curriculum or competencies, relate it to his or her overall educational and career objectives and compile the evidence to demonstrate the competence. Ideally, completing this process allows a student to avoid the duplication of learning, to build on the learning previously acquired, and shorten the time it takes to earn a certificate. Guidelines for portfolio preparation may be obtained from the Academic Dean.

 

 

A prior-learning evaluation may result in awarding of "no hours." A clear explanation is provided in such cases where hours are denied. If hours are awarded for prior learning, the Registrar will record the hours and send notification to the student. Hours earned through an assessment of prior learning cannot be duplicated through any other mechanism for earning hours. Prior learning hours are not transferable. A maximum of 12 hours may be earned through the Credit for Prior Learning Experiences process.
