  Applicants for admission to credit programs have to have all required documentation and credentials such as application, transcripts, test scores on file in the Office of Admissions by the admission and records application/document deadline date for the semester in which they plan to enroll.

Applicants can be admitted to PHILLY-TECH under five levels of status. Admission Status minimum requirements shall be established for each program. Students will be admitted in one of the following categories: Regular; Provisional; Learning Support; Special; or Transient.

1. Students who meet all requirements for admission into the Regular Status program and are eligible to take all courses in the program curriculum.
2. Provisional Status – Students who do not meet all requirements for regular admission into the Provisional status program may take learning support classes and certain specified occupational courses as long as class pre- and co- requisites are satisfied.
3. Applicants who wish to take credit coursework, but are not seeking a certificate, diploma, or associate degree are granted Special Admit status. The following terms define the parameters of this status:

• May apply up to a maximum of 18 semester credit hours into a specific program for credential seeking purposes after achieving regular admit status. The number of hours taken as a special admit student in no way waives the requirements of the regular admission process.
• May enroll in classes only on a space-available basis.
• Should adhere to the specific institutional prerequisite requirements when selecting courses.
• Will not be eligible for any financial aid Note: F-1/M-1 Visa holders and financial aid recipients may not be assigned to Special Admit status.

4. A transient student is one who has been or is regularly enrolled at another institution, who expects to return to that institution, but who desires to enroll temporarily in Philly-Tech

Credit earned at is not automatically forwarded to the second institution depending on the Institution.

            Students who submit a Transient Agreement Letter from their home institution are granted Transient admission status. The Transient Agreement Letter should verify that the student is in good standing and should list the courses the student is eligible to take. A current Transient Agreement Letter is required for each semester of enrollment.

An official transcript must be requested through the Office of the Registrar. Transient students desiring to continue enrollment as transfer students must reapply for admission and satisfactorily complete all transfer requirements.

This provision permits full-time attention to study and successful completion of the student’s educational objective.

Admissions of International Students: The College is required to notify immigration officials when international students do not attend full-time, maintain good classroom attendance, make satisfactory progress, or terminate their enrollment.

PHILLY-TECH does not provide, supervise, or recommend housing facilities for domestic or international students. Students must find housing on their own in the community. Correspondence for all non-U.S. citizen applicants who plan to attend on an F-1 or M-1 visa should be directed to the International Student Advisor.
