To apply for admission to Centura College, you can begin by using one of three different options:

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. In addition to these requirements, all online students must successfully complete the Orientation process in order to be admitted to the School. During Orientation you will learn everything you need to know to get online and use the educational software.

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.
