Nicolet College is committed to an open-door admissions policy for all prospective students who meet institutional requirements. All admissions processes comply with BP 4.02 Anti-Harassment and Nondiscrimination and Wisconsin Technical College System policies and procedures. For applicants meeting admissions requirements, applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Admission to Nicolet College is open to individuals who feel they can benefit from the instruction offered. Individuals who hold a high school diploma, a high school equivalency diploma (HSED), or a General Education Development certificate (GED) are eligible to enroll in post-secondary programs consistent with their ability levels. Students who do not have a high school diploma, GED certificate, or HSED can enroll in programs designed to help them earn those credentials while attending college classes. Note: Students who do not have a high school diploma, GED certificate, or HSED cannot receive Title IV financial aid.
Nicolet College is approved by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service to issue F-1 student visas for attendance by non-immigrant international students. These students must follow the regular admission process and demonstrate English proficiency to pursue a program. They must also provide the College with written proof of adequate financial resources available for their period of schooling and proof of a sponsorship before an I-20 form can be issued.
Because students have varied levels of educational preparation and College programs and courses vary widely in levels of difficulty, admissions services are designed to provide the best match for an individual’s abilities, interests, and academic aptitudes. As part of the matching process, applicants may undergo assessment prior to being accepted into the College or a program. Although admission to particular programs may require specific prerequisites, such as test score minimums, the College offers services to assist students in developing prerequisite skills.
