THE FOLLOWING STEPS ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL ADULTS

Step 1: PRE-ENTRANCE - APPLICATION and PRE-ENROLLMENT ORIENTATION
For all prospective adults students

Prospective adult students will attend a pre-enrollment orientation at 2:30 p.m. in the Seminar Center of the Automotive Technology Center located at 4901 S. Bryant Avenue on one of the following dates:

During orientation, prospective students will receive updated program information and information on the new selection process.  Admissions   is now competitive and is based upon a points system.  Acceptance into the program is not guaranteed.  Students may apply and see if they are accepted.  The deadline to apply for the March 2011 classes is December 3, 2010.

After attending the pre-enrollment orientation, the prospective student will be able to complete an application, take the Compass test for admissions, take the Bennett Mechanical Aptitude test, and complete an approved interest survey.  Upon completion of testing, students will meet with an Adult Career Advisor to review their assessment results and complete the necessary paperwork to become an applicant.  There will be a non-refundable $35 enrollment fee which is applied toward tuition.  In addition to testing, students will need to provide a current resume’ showing their employment history, and a high school or college transcript with their Grade Point Average or GED scores, as well as passing TOEFL test results, if those are applicable.

If you have already taken the Compass test from another school and the results are less than 2 years old, you may report to the North or South Enrollment Centers to apply after attending the pre-enrollment orientation.  You must bring your Compass scores with you in order to fill out the application for admissions.  You will still need to take the Bennett Mechanical Aptitude test and complete an interest survey.

Applications and testing can be completed at:

1900 Springlake Drive, Oklahoma City, OK  73111
(405)595-4432
 
Or

4901 S. Bryant Avenue, Oklahoma City, OK  73129

Step 2: PRE-ENTRANCE - ASSESSMENT

The assessment you will be given is the ACT Compass.
