Admission requirements are related to the functions of the Telecommunications Engineering Technology, Degree profession.
The institution develops, implements, and publishes clearly stated Telecommunications Engineering Technology, Degree program admission and advanced placement policies and procedures.
The requirements for admission to the Telecommunications Engineering Technology, Degree program are:
a.
Attainment
of 16 years of age;
b.
documentation
of high school graduation or satisfaction of High School Equivalency Certificate
requirements;
c.
achievement
of minimum regular admission scores on tests of reading, language, and math as
specified in TCSG document Minimum
Program Entrance Scores; and
d.
completion of
application and related procedures.
Admission of transfer students to the Telecommunications Engineering Technology program is contingent upon their meeting the following requirements:
a.
