If applicable, a Certificate of High School Equivalence (GED) score report, along with an official high school transcript(s) showing work completed must be sent to Student Advising and Development.
- Official college, university, or any other secondary institution transcript(s) sent directly from the previous institution to the Student Advising and Development Center.

American College Test (ACT)
All incoming students seeking a degree in Allied Health and Nursing are required to take the American College Test (ACT). If, however, a student does not intend to major in Dental Hygiene, EMS, Nursing, Medical Assisting, Medical Imaging, Respiratory Care, Occupational Therapy Assistant, or Physical Therapist Assistant, the ACT is not required.
An enhanced version of the ACT has been developed and administered since the 1989 academic year. This enhanced version does represent an adjusted grading scale. If an applicant took the ACT prior to 1989, his/her score must be adjusted to meet the new enhanced version scores. Consult the Student Advising and Development Center for the correct conversion.
Processing
Once the application file has been evaluated against the program entrance requirements, Rhodes State College will notify the applicant of acceptance or non-acceptance.
To help applicants who lack an adequate background for the limited enrollment programs, the College offers developmental and regular courses which provide applicants an opportunity to prepare themselves further for the program of their choice. Successful implementation of this course of action requires preadmission counseling. An appointment for this counseling can be arranged through the Student Advising and Development Center.
