Admissions Policy
Students are encouraged to apply for admission as soon as possible in order to be accepted for their specific program of study and start date. All applicants are required to complete a personal interview with an admission coordinator, either in person or by telephone, dependent on geographic distance. Parents and/or significant others are encouraged to attend. This gives the applicants and their families an opportunity to learn about the institution and ask questions in regards to curriculum and career objectives. Personal interviews also enable the institution to determine if an applicant is a strong candidate to become accepted into Pinnacle Career Institute.
PCI believes in equal opportunity and welcomes all qualified candidates regardless of sex, race, color or national origin. Applicants must be 18 years of age by the date they graduate from PCI. Exceptions to this age limit will be made only with the written consent of the student’s parents.
All applicants must have a high school diploma or General Education Diploma (GED).
Candidates will be formally accepted and enrolled after these steps have been completed. Any student with special needs should contact the school individually to discuss these requirements.
PROCEDURES
The following items must be completed at the time of registration:
- Application for Admission
- Enrollment Agreement (If applicant is under 18 years of age, it must also be signed by a parent or guardian.)
- Request for high school or GED transcript (and college transcripts, where applicable). An official transcript must be received prior to the end of the first term or the student will be administratively withdrawn.
- Applicants with home school diplomas are required to present evidence to validate the credential. In the event the home school diploma cannot be verified by the state authority, the applicant is required to complete the GED and provide a copy of his/her transcript or successfully pass the Ability to Benefit test prior to being allowed to enroll.
- PCI accepts Ability to Benefit (ATB) applicants into non-degree programs who have achieved a passing score on an approved test that has been approved by the Department of Education and administered by an independent third party in our certificate residential programs that are offered at the Kansas City campuses.
A request for accommodation or services is deemed reasonable if the request:
- Is based on documented individual needs.
- Does not compromise essential requirements of a course or program.
- Does not impose a financial or administrative burden upon PCI beyond that which is deemed reasonable and customary.
- Is within the scope of PCI’s control.
Candidates will be formally accepted and enrolled after these steps have been completed.
