What are the requirements for admission?

A student enrolling at a KCTCS college for the first time or who have been out one (1) full fall or spring semester, will need to complete a new admissions application. Students may be admitted to a community or technical college as freshmen, as students with advanced standing from other institutions, as visiting students, or as non-degree students. KCTCS colleges admit students who have graduated from a public high school or certified non-public high school; who have earned a high school general equivalency diploma (GED).

If any previous institution is withholding your transcript due to a balance owed with them, you will need to work out payment arrangements with that institution.
