Special High School Admission High school students who are not enrolled at ARCC through the PSEO program and are at least 16 years of age may be admitted to enroll in courses outside of the PSEO program for any term, including summer session. Students are responsible for payment of tuition, fees and books. Interested students must complete ARCC’s general admission requirements, submit placement test results and receive written permission to enroll from a parent or guardian. High school transcripts may be required.
Minnesota Resident Senior Citizen Admission Minnesota resident senior citizens, 62 years of age or older, may enroll in credit courses on a space-available basis at a reduced fee of $20 per credit. Registration for Minnesota resident senior citizens at the reduced fee begins the first business day after the first class session. Minnesota resident senior citizens are not charged tuition when auditing a credit course or taking a noncredit course, but will be charged fees. The request to audit a course must be made at the time of registration for the course. Regular and special fees, books and materials remain the responsibility of the student. Senior citizens wishing to guarantee their enrollment in a course may register earlier, but will be required to pay full tuition and fees.
Placement for Success To ensure academic success, new students at AnokaRamsey are required to take The College Board Placement test, Accuplacer. Accuplacer assesses skill levels in reading, English composition and mathematics. Test results are used to determine the appropriate course to improve your success
in college. Placement tests are offered on a regular basis throughout the year and the first set of tests are free. Placement tests are required for: • New students taking eight or more credits • Returning students enrolling for their eighth credit • Students enrolling in a math and/or English course • All PSEO students Although the tests do not determine admission to AnokaRamsey Community College, they do determine entry into some courses. If the reading score results in placement into Reading 0910, the student must enroll in the course during the first semester at the college. Students are encouraged to enroll immediately in the indicated courses when the placement is other than into 1000-level courses. Students are expected to complete all courses numbered below 1000 prior to the completion of 30 credits. Students placing below the lowest pre-college level courses offered may be referred to Adult Basic Education (ABE).
Immunization Minnesota Statute (M.S. 135A.14) requires all students born after 1956 and enrolled in a public or private post-secondary school in Minnesota be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps and rubella, allowing for certain specified exceptions. No proof of immunization is needed from students who are assumed to be up to date with their immunizations due to requirements imposed by their previous school enrollment, such as students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 1997 or later. Immunization forms are sent out from the Records and Registration office. Students will not be able to complete registration a second time without this information.
