Open Door Policy 

TOCC admits students by an “open door policy,” which means that anyone can be accepted. Tohono O’odham Community College encourages all students to further their education.

TOCC has separate admissions requirements for ABE/GED, for apprenticeships, and for regular college classes.

You are eligible for admission if you are:

• A high school graduate or GED recipient.
• A transfer student from an accredited college or university.
• A student currently attending another higher education institution.
• A non-high school graduate who is at least 16 and can benefit from instruction.
• A current high school student who has received permission from your school and parents or legal guardians.

Some programs have limited admission and may have additional requirements for those students under the age of 16. Email admissions@tocc.edu for details. All students have the opportunity to prepare themselves to meet requirements for entry into any program they choose.
