Info on Applying
Rolling Admissions
At Central Maine Community College we make applying easy. With a rolling admissions policy for most programs, individuals can apply and be considered for acceptance throughout the year. All programs begin in the fall semester, starting in late August to early September. Spring admission is possible for most programs. Both spring and summer matriculation are also great options for students who wish to begin by taking mostly general education courses.
Nursing degree applicants are selected on a competitive basis once a year, and they begin in the fall semester. Application materials are accepted between September 1st and February 28th. Selection decisions are made until the program is full.
Admissions Requirements- A completed Application for Admission.
- An official high school transcript for all years attended. Students who have an associate degree or have earned 60 or more credits toward a bachelor’s degree do not need to supply their high school transcript or GED but must supply their college transcript(s).
- Current high school seniors must include the first marking period for the senior year. A final transcript will be needed for all graduating seniors prior to the first day of college classes.

Students with Foreign Transcripts
“Students with foreign transcripts” are defined as individuals who have a permanent United States address, are not sole residents of another country, and have studied at a foreign university or high school. These students should complete the regular admissions requirements in the first drop-down above but must ensure official academic transcripts are professionally translated to English. We recommend using an evaluation service accredited by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES). Students should carefully review the list of evaluation services as prices and timing vary.
International Students
Central Maine Community College welcomes students from all over the world. An “international student” is defined as a person who is not a U.S. citizen or U.S. immigrant and seeks to attend college in the U.S. while maintaining residency in another nation. An F-1 student visa is required before an international student can attend CMCC. To get an F-1 Visa, the College needs to submit a Form I-20 that indicates you have been accepted at CMCC, have the funds to attend, and have the language skills to be successful.
