Admissions Procedure for students residing in the United States

To apply for admission, an applicant residing in the United States must:

  1. Complete the admission application and return it to Enrollment Services with a nonrefundable $25 application fee. Make check or money order payable to Salem Community College.
  2. Request that his or her high school guidance office send Enrollment Services a complete record of all courses attempted and all grades received. If he or she completed a GED (General Education Development) diploma, submit a copy of the GED certification to Enrollment Services.
  3. Register to take the College placement test or provide proof of exemption.
  4. Submit proof of immunization for measles, mumps and rubella (if born after 1956) and for hepatitis B.

A student transferring from another college should request the registrar of that college (and previous colleges attended, if applicable) to mail official transcript to Enrollment Services. Academic Affairs will determine which credits are acceptable transfer credits. Transferable credits must be from a similarly accredited institution, be a "C" grade or higher, and be applicable to a student's program of study. After all records have been received and evaluated, Academic Affairs will notify the applicant by mail.
