ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Provisional Acceptance
Applicants may be granted a provisional acceptance pending documentation of high school graduation or successful completion of the GED.

Matriculation Requirements
Once notified of their acceptance to Utica School of Commerce, there are a number of requirements the students need to meet to complete their matriculation. Students are expected to complete the following requirements prior to the first day of classes (students must complete these requirements within 30 days after the start of the semester in order to remain in class):

All Students

• Submit a Medical History Form. New York State Public Health Law 2165 requires that all students born on or after January 1, 1957, who are enrolled in an approved degree or registered certificate program, taking 6 or more credit hours per semester, submit proof of immunity against Measles, Mumps and Rubella. Proof of immunity consists of a Certificate of Immunization showing 2 (two) immunizations against Measles and 1 (one) each for Mumps and Rubella, signed by a physician or health care provider. The certificate must specify the type of vaccine and date of administration. Serologic proof, which specifies lab values, is also acceptable, as is positive disease diagnosis (not for Rubella). New York State Public Health Law 2167 recommends that students, regardless of age, also be vaccinated against Meningococcal Meningitis.

Financial Aid Recipients

• Submit a completed USC Supplemental Financial Aid Verification/Compliance Form and a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or valid Student Aid Report (SAR) with copies of required income documentation as required for verification by the U.S. Department of Education.

Tuition and fees are due on or prior to the first day of classes. Students receiving financial aid will be given credit toward their expenses.

Transfer Students

• If requesting transfer credit, submit official copies of College Transcripts from any previous institutions of higher education attended since graduating from high school. Transfer students receiving Veteran’s educational benefits must submit an official College transcript from prior colleges attended.
