Kennebec Valley Community College welcomes applications for admission from prospective students of all ages and backgrounds. The academic credentials and life experience of each applicant are considered on an individual basis. All applicants for credit programs are required to have earned a high school diploma or a state high school equivalency diploma as well as meet program specific prerequisites.

   Students are accepted for admission in the fall, spring, or summer semesters, with the exception of the Electrical Lineworker Technology program, Nursing program and certain Allied Health programs which accept students only in the fall semester. It is recommended that candidates for admission submit their applications as early as possible. Though KVCC has "rolling admissions" for most programs, the early accepted student generally has access to a wider selection of courses.

   Graduating high school students are encouraged to apply for admission during the fall or winter of their senior year. KVCC also offers additional assistance to high school guidance counselors to address questions about programs, admissions, or student life at the College with a dedicated telephone line (207) 453-5155 or 1-800-528-5882, ext. 5155.
