Selected diploma and certificate programs require students to have at least eight units of high school work or special permission. An official high school transcript is required.

All students take placement tests with the exception of those transfer students who have successfully completed college-level English and Mathematics. To qualify for a waiver based on this exception, the student must present a post-secondary transcript documenting the college-level English and/or Mathematics to the admissions counselor. Waivers are also available for students who have made a minimum score on the SAT or ACT. (See ASSET and COMPASS Placement Testing for additional information.)
- Applicants for Electronics Engineering Technology and Architectural Technology should have completed one unit of algebra and one unit of geometry.

Admission of Undocumented Aliens
Based on an advisory letter from the Office of the Attorney General, beginning May 13, 2008, Pitt Community College will no longer admit individuals classified as illegal or undocumented immigrants into curriculum degree programs. Individuals enrolled or accepted on or before May 13, 2008 are not affected by this change in policy. This action is in response to the recent advice provided to the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) general counsel by the Office of the Attorney General on May 6, 2008 and a subsequent meeting with the Attorney General's Office on Monday, May 12.
Pitt Community College has been advised by the NCCCS to make the following exceptions to this policy:
1. Undocumented or illegal aliens who are high school students may enroll in college level courses consistent with the concurrent enrollment policy and the cooperative program agreement (Huskins Bill courses) policy. Undocumented or illegal aliens may take college level courses pursuant to these policies because eligibility for participation in these programs is not based on legal residence but on attendance in a North Carolina high school. These courses are open to all high school students attending a high school (public, private, or home school) located in the State who meet the eligbility criteria. This position appears to be consistent with the federal policy regulating provision of state or local public benefits to undocumented or illegal aliens.
2. Undocumented or illegal aliens may enroll in non-college level courses or programs including GED preparation courses, Adult Basic Education, Adult High School, English as a Second Language and other continuing education courses less than college level. These courses do not appear to violate the general prohibition against providing post-secondary education to undocumented or illegal aliens.
3. Undocumented or battered illegal aliens who have been determined to meet one of the qualifying conditions set forth in Federal Law, 8 USC Section 1641 are eligible for college level courses. It is the applicant's responsibility to produce sufficient documentation to satisfy the college that the applicant is eligible for post secondary education benefits.
