Admission, Fees, and Financial Aid

Adult Students

You will see many students like yourself on our campus and nationally, adults make up 42% of all college students. Most of our students are working part-time and many are employed full-time while attending college. Check out the Saturday Select and online classes that may fit your needs.

All new students take a placement test that is used to help you choose your courses. GED recipients will need to supply a copy of the GED test scores. If you have lost your official scores you will find information at this Ohio Department of Education. If you need to take the GED test contact the Middletown Community Education Office at 513-420-4520 or your local adult education office.

Alternative ways to earn credit: testing out of a course, military transcripts,company training and CLEP (Credit for Life Experience exams).
