Eastern Virginia Career College

What is the accreditation of Eastern Virginia Career College?

Eastern Virginia Career College's institutional accreditor is the Council on Occupational Education (COE). Institutional accreditation concerns the college as a whole; approval or accreditation of an individual occupational program is a separate question.

Accreditation can be relevant to federal student-aid eligibility, but a student's eligibility also depends on the program and the student's circumstances. It does not guarantee that another college will accept transfer credits or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license. Students entering a licensed field should verify the specific program with the appropriate licensing authority before enrolling.

What are the admission requirements at Eastern Virginia Career College?

Eastern Virginia Career College does not report an open-admission policy. Its admissions information identifies a secondary-school record and a formal demonstration of competencies as required, along with a required test other than the SAT or ACT. Applicants should obtain the current program's instructions to identify the test and any additional program-specific steps.

High-school GPA and recommendations are considered but are not listed as required. SAT and ACT scores are neither required nor recommended in the reported admissions criteria. Requirements for prior education, interviews, health documentation, or background checks may differ by program; an applicant should distinguish admission to the college from clearance to participate in clinical training.

In the reported first-time applicant group, 95 of 99 applicants were admitted, an acceptance rate of about 96%. That figure describes a small past applicant pool, not an assurance of admission to a particular program or start date.

What are the application fees and waivers at Eastern Virginia Career College?

The reported application fee for Eastern Virginia Career College is $100. Before paying, applicants should confirm whether the charge applies to their program and application method and whether it is refundable.

• Reported application fee: $100

An application fee is distinct from an enrollment deposit or other charges due after admission. Applicants seeking a waiver should ask admissions whether one is offered, what documentation is required, and whether approval must be obtained before submitting payment.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Eastern Virginia Career College?

Prospective students should not assume that Eastern Virginia Career College operates an Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC unit or offers ROTC cross-enrollment. ROTC normally involves coursework and commissioning requirements coordinated through a host institution.

Someone considering both career-college enrollment and military commissioning should confirm any cross-registration arrangement with the intended ROTC host before applying. ROTC scholarships, participation rules, and service obligations are separate from ordinary veterans' education benefits.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Eastern Virginia Career College?

Eastern Virginia Career College generally accepts transfer credit from other accredited institutions and reports accepting both general and subject CLEP examinations. Acceptance of an applicant and acceptance of a particular course for program credit are separate decisions.

Transfer applicants should provide official records for evaluation and request a written, course-by-course determination before relying on previous work to shorten a program. In particular, they should ask about minimum grades, the age of science or technical coursework, limits on transferred credits, and any requirement to complete practical instruction at Eastern Virginia Career College. The college reports accepting dual credit but not awarding credit for life experience or Advanced Placement examinations.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Eastern Virginia Career College?

Study abroad should not be assumed to be part of an Eastern Virginia Career College program. Occupational programs may have fixed course sequences and local practical-training requirements that make an outside course difficult to substitute.

A student considering an independently arranged international experience should obtain approval before enrolling elsewhere. The program would need to determine whether the coursework satisfies its curriculum and, where applicable, professional licensing requirements.
