| GENERAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The criteria for admission to Cyprus College have been prepared to enable the Office of Admissions to select students who have potential to do college-level work and to place students into courses and programs appropriate to the student's preparation, in an effort to help them successfully realize their academic potential.
Our students come from many parts of the world and bring with them a wide range of academic disciplines, experiences, special interests, talents and cultural heritages. The Office of Admissions aims to form a student body, which will give the opportunity to each student to share education and grow in experience as a member of an international community.
In general, all applicants must have completed a secondary (high) school education or the equivalent of twelve years of schooling to be considered for admission. Cyprus College recognizes a strong academic performance at high school level as the primary determinant for college level success.
Any person who intends to register for a program/course at Cyprus College must first be admitted to the college.
