Special Admissions

Special Admissions testing is used to determine the eligibility of applicants who do not meet a program’s regular admission requirements.

If you are missing specific high school credits on your high school transcript that are needed for admission, or if you have modified, EAL, or equivalency courses in those areas, you may be able to write a Special Admissions assessment to see if you meet the entrance requirements for your program of interest.

Regular admissions requirements can be found on your program’s webpage. If you have any questions regarding program admission requirements or are unsure whether you meet your program’s admission requirements, please contact an academic advisor. They will be able to answer any questions that you may have.

The test you will write depends on the admission requirements of the program. Please explore the links below for examples of the different types of Special Admissions testing we offer.

Note: Special Admissions testing should be completed prior to applying to RRC Polytech. You will still be required to submit a high school transcript as part of the application process.

If you have further questions, please contact us.

Note: Effective November 1, 2024, the CAAT C: Number Operations and Reading Comprehension tests are no longer used for Special Admissions testing. Test scores from these tests will still be accepted by the College provided they meet minimum score requirements and are no more than one year old at the time of applying to program.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
