General Admission

Individuals are eligible for admission to Virginia Western if they are high school graduates or the equivalent, or if they are eighteen years of age or older and able to benefit from study at the college. The college also reserves the right to require placement test for any individual seeking to take credit classes.

Virginia Western will consider the admission of junior and senior level students enrolled in a public, private, or home-school secondary educational program.

High school students and home school students should refer to the subsequent section addressing these populations.

Others with special circumstances may attend with approval of the Virginia Western Community College Admissions Committee, or in the case of freshman and sophomore level students, with approval of the college president or his designee. For additional information, contact the college Admissions Office at 540-857-7231.

The college reserves the right to evaluate and document special cases and to refuse or revoke admission if the college determines that the applicant or student poses a threat, is a potential danger, is significantly disruptive to the college community, or if such refusal or revocation is considered to be in the best interest of a college. The colleges also reserve the right to refuse admission for applicants that have been expelled or suspended from, or determined to be a threat, potential danger or significantly disruptive by, another college. Students whose admission is revoked after enrollment must be given due process. Each college must have a procedure for determining when denial is warranted.
