As a member of the North Carolina Community College System, McDowell Technical Community College operates under an "open door" admissions policy. Open door admissions means, “Any person who is a high school graduate or at least 18 years old has the opportunity to pursue the various educational opportunities that are offered by institutions in the system.” Special admission requirements, such as educational qualifications, physical abilities, assessment scores and State Board policy restrictions, are attached to certain curriculums. Applicants scoring below specified minimums on entrance exams will be counseled and required to enroll in classes designed to eliminate their admission deficiencies.
