Southwest Technology Center admits all eligible students without regard to race, color, national origin or religious beliefs. All federal and state guidelines concerning admittance for students receiving aid will be adhered to. Admission requirements may vary according to the program being offered. In general, admission requirements may include having a high school diploma or high school equivalency diploma (GED and HiSet), as well as a review of the applicant’s interests, aptitude, and work history. Admission to the technology center or to specific programs shall not be contingent upon any single measure but upon a combination of factors including but not limited to achievement levels, aptitude, interest, work history, and ability to benefit in terms of employment. In-district secondary students who are enrolled in the eleventh (11) or twelfth (12) grades have first priority in all day classes. Secondary students wishing to return for the second year of a two-year program will have priority over first-year students provided they have the instructor’s recommendation and are in good standing. In- district adult students will have second priority in full-time classes. Out-of-district secondary students will have third priority, followed by out-of-district adult students. All outof-district students are admitted on a space available basis.
