Admission Procedures


Navarro College shall maintain an open door admissions policy , and students are admitted without regard to race, color, religion, creed, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status or veteran status. The college reserves the right to verify citizenship and residency status of any applicant.
The Office of Admissions and Records is responsible for administering all admissions policies. Inquiries concerning admissions should be emailed to the Office of Admissions and Records.
The college reserves the right to refuse admission to any student who does not comply with admission requirements. In compliance with Texas House Bill (TX HB) 449 and 1735 adopted in 2019, students are asked at the point of admissions to disclose a) if they have pending conduct charges of violence or sexual misconduct, or b) if they have been expelled, suspended, or withdrawn from a previous institution for conduct charges of violence or sexual misconduct.  If students answer 'yes' to either of these questions, they are required to provide additional information, submitted electronically to the Student Services Office.  The college reserves the right to refuse admission to any student who does not comply with TX HB 449 and 1735 requirements.
An individual may appeal any admissions denial to the Vice President of Student Success or in the event the refusal was due to conduct, the student may appeal to the Executive Director of Student Services.

Completion of the flollowing steps are necessary to gain admission to Navarro College:
  1. Application for Admission. https://www.goapplytexas.org

  2. Official Transcript.

Beginning Students. An official and complete transcript in a sealed envelope bearing the signature of the appropriate official, seal and date of graduation of the applicant’s high school record must be filed, or sent electronically, in the Office of Admissions & Records before an application for admission will be considered.

Navarro College will not recognize a student as a high school graduate who has obtained a diploma through a school or online program that requires only payment of a fee with little or no coursework requirements.  Graduates of such programs will be considered for admissions on an individual approval basis.

Transfer Students. Transfers from another college, including summer/mini session students, are required to present an official and complete transcript in a sealed envelope bearing the signature of the appropriate official and seal from each college attended or sent electronically directly from the institution.

  1. Assessment Scores Student proficiency in reading, writing, and mathematics must be assessed. This is accomplished by completing the TSI Assessment. Students otherwise qualified or exempted will not be refused admission on the basis of their scores. Results are used in advising and in placing students in the proper course levels.

  2. Proof of Residency A student may submit a state-issued driver’s license or identification card and show proof of having established local residency for 12 months or more without enrollment (or other approved documentation) to determine residency as either in-district, out-of-district, or out-of-state. 

The Office of Admissions and Records can provide additional information concerning state requirements.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Certain programs such as Residence Life, as well as instructional areas (e.g. Cosmetology, Welding, Petroleum Technology), Allied Health (e.g. Nursing, OTA, PTA) and Protective Services (e.g. Police, Fire and EMS) will require additional standards of conduct and may involve additional requirements for admissions and sanctions against student misconduct.
