Admissions Policy

Fort Peck Community College has an “open door” admissions policy. Anyone who is seventeen (17) years or older who can benefit from the College’s educational offerings and services will be admitted. FPCC does not discriminate on the basis of age, color, religion, creed, disability, marital status, veteran status, national origin, gender or sexual orientation in the education programs which it delivers.

Student Placement Testing. New students and transfer students are required to take the ACCUPLACER Test prior to enrollment. Former students who do not have placement test scores on record may need to be tested. Students returning to FPCC after a two-year absence will be retested. The results of the test are used to make recommendations for programs of study and courses that will be most appropriate for the students’ skill levels. The ACCUPLACER Test results and the recommendations will be given to the student prior to enrollment in classes. Students can expect to enroll in the recommended coursework based on their test results.

All new freshmen must score at the required grade level in the areas of reading, math or language to enroll in college level courses. ACT test scores from high school will be used for incoming freshmen. A student who scores below the required grade level will be placed in college preparation courses.

Regular Student Admission. An applicant who is 17 years of age or older who has graduated from an accredited high school or has earned a HiSET/GED certificate and has never attended a college or university may apply for admissions.
