Yes, all 28 colleges in the system have an open door admissions policy. Some colleges have dropped “community” from their name, while others have added “state;” however, all of the colleges remain open door institutions. Upon admission, students are required to take the CPT, ACT, or SAT to determine placement in developmental and college-ready courses, and there is no GPA or SAT/ACT score required for admission.
