High school students under the age of 18 who have not earned a high school diploma or GED may request an exception to the admissions policy of the college. Admission to health career programs is selective. Because of state regulations, students who apply to Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science, or Associate in Fine Arts degree transfer programs will be accepted to the college but may be admitted to the program on a provisional basis until certain minimum entrance requirements are satisfied. Should it be necessary to limit enrollment, priority will be given to residents of Parkland College District 505. Admission into the Preparedness Program and the health career programs requires special procedures and enrollment is limited.
International students are welcome at Parkland.
The college is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant students. Parkland does not discriminate in the admission of students on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual preference, religion, veteran status, Vietnam veteran era, marital status, ancestry, or disability. Each student is encouraged to consult with a professional counselor at Parkland in the selection of a program consistent with the student's interests and abilities.
