Digital Animation Admission Detail at Mohawk Valley Community College Utica Branch
MVCC is an open admissions institution as are all community colleges within the State University of New York system. We will provide educational services to all who can demonstrate that they can benefit from them.
The open admissions format does not require that applicants compete for space based on past performance, superior grades or standardized test scores. The College does reserve the right to recommend a starting point for each applicant with regard to their readiness to pursue the requested major.
Many of our programs have prerequisite requirements. These prerequisites are stated so that applicants are aware of the level of difficulty within the program. If applicants do not possess the appropriate prerequisite background, it may be recommended that they begin their college program in an alternate major. Or, they may be required to take remedial courses equivalent to those entry prerequisites. The need to take remedial course work can extend the time needed to complete a degree or certificate.
The College does not require that applicants take either the SAT or ACT for Admission.
