Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid

Snow College is an open-admission institution committed to a policy of equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in providing educational services to students, employees, and the public. While admission is open, applicants seeking to enroll in any degree-seeking or certificate program must have graduated from high school or completed an approved equivalency such as the GED. (The Commercial Driver’s License program is an exception to this).

The deadline for admission to Snow College is seven days after the first day of class for full semester classes. For block schedule courses, the deadline for admission is the first day of class.

Potential students can apply online. The website and the pages linked below provide additional information.

Note: Snow College’s admission policy is subject to change. The policy printed on the current Snow College Application for Admissions is always considered the most up-to-date version. 

Enrollment Deadlines

Snow College does not have an admissions deadline; however, the enrollment deadline is the first day of the semester in which a student plans to attend. This means a student must be admitted by that date in order to enroll in classes. If a student begins during a late-start or mid-semester class, the deadline is the first day those classes begin.

To take advantage of early course registration, applicants are encouraged to submit their application for admission and all supporting documents as early as possible. Students seeking academic scholarship consideration must have their application for admission and all supporting documents postmarked on or before the scholarship deadline.

Exceptions to Deadlines

In rare cases, an exception to the enrollment deadline may be granted. To be eligible to apply for an exception and be considered for enrollment after the first day of the semester, a student must:

  • Have graduated from high school or passed a GED (or equivalent exam).
  • High school graduates must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
  • Transfer students with more than 20 post-high school credits must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
  • Be able to pay for the semester in full or sign up for a college-approved payment plan on the day of enrollment.
  • Be able to immediately begin attending the next upcoming session of each registered class.
  • Obtain approval from the Director of Admissions and the Director of Academic Advising (or their designees).

Exceptions are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Factors considered include past academic performance, course availability, date of request, and reason for the request.
