A potential student’s file must be complete before an application can be considered for admission. The following must be included in a complete applicant file:

1. Completed application with $25 application fee.

2. ACT or SAT scores: Test scores are required of all applicants who have graduated from high school or earned the GED within the past five years. Applicants with college credit acquired after graduation from high school are not required to take the ACT or SAT for admission. Applicants applying from outside of the United States are exempt.

3. Official high school transcript or GED certificate: The high school transcript or GED certificate must be mailed directly to the KCMA admissions office from the educational institution, testing site or state agency. No hand-delivered transcripts will be accepted. High school transcripts must show completion/date of graduation and cumulative GPA; GED certificate must show the scores achieved. An applicant graduating from a home-based high school program must provide an official transcript from an accredited institution. A transcript issued by an applicant’s parents cannot be accepted as an official transcript.

4. Official college and/or university transcripts: Official transcripts are required from all colleges attended. These transcripts must be mailed directly from each college or university attended to the admissions office.

5. Student personal statement form: This form, supplied in the application packet, must be completed and returned with the application; essays will be reviewed for content.

6. Math placement: All applicants to KCMA’s undergraduate programs of study who do not have transfer credit to meet the math core requirement are required to take the college’s math placement test. (The exceptions to this policy are applicants for the baccalaureate completion degrees.) Applicants must take the math placement test before the file can be reviewed by the department and the college admission committee. Contact the admissions office for information about how to take the math placement test.

Students entering certain programs must meet the prerequisite for MATH 165 before being considered for admission. Refer to the program of study for specific math requirements.

Note: An applicant who withholds information or gives false information in any part of the application may be ineligible for admission or may be later subject to dismissal.
