First-year

Students should apply as a first-year freshman if they have not previously attended college, or have attempted fewer than 12 college-level credits (not including dual enrollment or college credits taken while in high school). First-year students need only submit high school transcripts and an application in order to be considered for admission. Keystone College is test optional, but test scores will be considered if submitted.

Transfer

Students should apply as a transfer student if they have attempted 12 or more college-level (non-developmental) courses after completing high school. Transfer students must submit an application, official college transcripts from all schools attended, and official high school transcripts to be considered for admission. High school transcripts can be waived if an Associate degree from an accredited college or university has been earned.
