Eligible for Admissions

Eligibility for Admission

Any person who is a high school graduate or equivalent thereof, or who is eighteen years of age or older and who can benefit from the instruction offered, is eligible to apply for admission to Las Positas College.

Ability to Benefit from Instruction

Under the provisions of the California State Education Code and Governing Board Policy of this District, a student’s ability to benefit from the instruction offered shall be determined by evidence of the individual’s:

  • Ability to meet the demands of college instruction at Las Positas College;
  • Ability to master, and proceed beyond, the minimum basic skill levels required for success in college education;
  • Ability to show substantial progress in cognitive and affective learning in college courses; and
  • Ability to show progress toward independent learning.

By this rule, the College shall determine whether a person is or is not capable of benefiting from college instruction. The determination of ability to benefit is a matter of composite professional judgment based upon available evidence. Additional information may be obtained from the Office of the Dean of Student Services.
