Regular Admit

Students who meet all requirements for admission into a selected program and are eligible to take all courses in the program curriculum are granted regular admission status.

Provisional Admit

Students who do not meet all requirements for regular admission into a selected program are granted provisional admission status. Provisionally admitted students may take learning support classes and certain specified occupational courses as long as class pre-and co-requisites are satisfied. All certificate, diploma, and associate degree program students initially admitted on a provisional basis must have met regular admission status by either completing necessary learning support classes or successfully completing the appropriate level math and English courses. Students admitted into Basic Entry-Level Workforce Certificates may progress from those certificate program to the associated diploma courses as regular admit as long as all coursework in the certificate is successfully completed.  Students admitted into Basic Entry-Level Workforce Certificates may Applicant admitted provisionally will not be granted an award of a certificate, diploma or associate degree classified as a Provisional Admitted student.

Students who have successfully completed the diploma version of a Savannah Technical College degree program and who want to continue into the associate degree will be admitted provisionally to that program of study. However, they would be in regular admit status if they have either passed the Elementary Algebra and College Level Math portion of the ACCUPLACER test or received a grade of C or better in College Algebra or Quantitative Skills and Reasoning course.
