Three Rivers subscribes to an open admissions concept in order to provide full educational opportunities. The board of trustees authorizes the college president to establish regulations for admission which encourage the enrollment of all persons with the ability to benefit from the education programs of the college.


Admission to Specific Programs


Because of the necessity to limit the number of students who enroll in Nursing and Medical Laboratory Technology, students applying to these programs will be accepted according to the approved selection process as outlined in each program's section. For further information, contact the Division Chair of Health and Human Services.

The college may restrict or deny admission to any applicant whose record of behavior indicates that his or her admission would disrupt the orderly process of the college's programs, would interfere with the rights and privileges of other students, creates a threat or potential danger to the college community, is statutorily barred from the college, or if such denial of access is considered to be in the best interest of the college.

Pursuant to Missouri State Statute 174.130, Three Rivers will not knowingly admit any aliens unlawfully present in the United States. Proof of legal residency may be required at the time of application. International students should refer to the catalog section on international admissions.
