Procedures
To apply for admission to Centura College, you can begin by using one of three different options:
- Call 757-233-6565 or toll free at 866-858-2121 and ask to speak with an Admissions Representatives.
- Email Ashley Forish, the Director of Admissions, at admdirconl@centura.edu to discuss admission.
- Fill out our inquiry form here.
Request admissions information by filling out an information request online.
After you contact us, we will reach you for a "preliminary interview," which will help us all assess the program you are interested in and the needs we can help you fill. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian should be present during the initial interview.
An Admissions Representatives will conduct the preliminary interview and schedule subsequent appointments with a financial aid officer. This procedure is risk-free: If your application is rejected, you will be notified, and any fees paid will be fully refunded.

Graduation from high school or a high school equivalency certificate (General Equivalency Diploma or GED) is required for admission. You will be required to present evidence of graduation or GED completion. Also, you must be 18 years old or older to begin the program.

Orientation
To help all incoming students adjust to the newness of our school, a
special time is set aside for student orientation. This is held before
the beginning of all program starts and is integrated with the first
courses. During orientation all students will login and familiarize
themselves with the course software.
New students are informed of
policies and procedures of the school. The emphasis of orientation
is one way the student may achieve personal and academic success
in school. New students will be notified by the new student advisor
of the procedures to follow for logging into orientation.
Advanced Academic Standing and Transfer of Credit
Any student that has earned credit at another college may submit
their transcript for evaluation, in order to determine if credits previously
earned are applicable to the current program requirements,
prior to starting school. Students approved by the VA must submit
their transcripts for evaluation purposes, in order to continue eligibility
with the VA. The potential student must obtain an Application
for Transfer Credit from an Admissions Representative. The form
must be completed and returned to the Admissions Representative
for submission to the school's Registrar. A request for transfer of
credit must occur by the first week of attendance. This will allow
time for requested transcripts to be received at the school. The
student must also provide a copy of the catalog description from
the school where credit was earned for each course considered for
transfer. All transcripts and catalog course descriptions must be
received within the first five weeks of attendance.
Transfer credit may be granted if the course:
- Was completed with a grade of C or better at an accredited
college provided that the course requirements are equal or
superior to the requirements of a similar course offered by
Centura College
- Meets the required semester credit hours for the course
offered by Centura College
- Was not used to satisfy high school diploma requirements*
- Did not appear on the student's high school transcript*
- Is not a remedial course
- Was not taken to satisfy a freshman admissions requirement
The school reserves the right to accept or reject credits earned at
other institutions of higher learning.
*This does not include courses taken in high school for college credit.
