Admission Policy
Community College of Philadelphia is an associate's degree-granting institution
with open admission for all who may benefit. Selective programs may require
submission of a copy of the student's diploma and/or transcript from an
accredited secondary school or a state equivalency diploma.
Selective programs are competitive with some programs admitting qualified students as space allows. In addition to the transcript requirements mentioned above, each selective program has established admission criteria particular to that program. Students interested in a select program are strongly encouraged to apply early and consult with a counselor, the department or a member of the Admissions office for specific information.
Inquiries regarding admission to the College should be directed to the College Information Center, 215-751-8010, or e-mail admissions@ccp.edu. Applicants who require help may consult directly with a member of the Admissions Office staff by visiting the Admissions Welcome Center (Pavilion Building, Rm. P1- 05).
