Procedures for Admission

Applicants must complete an online Finger Lakes Community College Application Form and request that official high school (or equivalent) and college transcripts be sent to the Admissions Office.
1. Current high school students applying for admission upon graduation should request that their high school counselor send their transcript directly to the Admissions Office. In addition, the applicant is responsible for forwarding a final, official high school transcript to the Admissions Office once the graduation date and diploma type has been recorded.
2. High school graduates must send an official high school transcript from an accredited high school to complete their application.
3. Applicants who have submitted official transcripts showing completion of an associate or bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university are not required to submit high school transcripts or a High School Equivalency Diploma in order to be reviewed for acceptance.
4. Applicants with a High School Equivalency Diploma (GED or TASC) are responsible for providing an official copy of their GED/TASC test.
5. Applicants who have not earned a high school diploma, as well as those who have completed an Individualized Education Program (IEP) Diploma, should contact the One Stop Center for further information regarding the admissions process. Additional information regarding non-high school graduates can also be found in the catalog sections addressing the “Basic Skills Testing and Placement” and “Requirements for Admission".
The results of standardized tests such as the American College Test (ACT) or the Scholastic Application Test (SAT) may be submitted to assist in academic advisement but are not required for admission, as such test results are not criteria for admission.
All applicants are encouraged to schedule an online or on-campus visit before or after formal acceptance to the College. General information about the College, programs, financial aid, registration, etc., will be discussed, and prospective students’ questions will be answered. Online and campus tours are also available.
The College does not provide special academic programs for students with learning and physical disabilities. It does, however, provide support services to assist students with learning and physical disabilities in regular classes. Students are encouraged to contact the Disability Services Office to complete a Disability Services Application Form and gain more information about the range of services available. Information about Disability Services is available at www.flcc.edu/asap.
With the formal acceptance to the College, applicants will receive a letter of acceptance with enrollment instructions.
