Admissions
Degree Programs
No special application is needed to enroll in the Facilities Maintenance Associate
Degree program or our Skilled Trades certificate programs.
Simply follow the normal college application process as described in the Get Started Guide. Columbus State does not charge an application fee, although there is a $50 fee when
you register for the first time. Columbus State is an open enrollment school. Once
you have completed the application, you will need to take the College Placement Exam,
which will enable us to determine a starting point suited specifically for you. ACT
scores no more than two years old can be used in place of the College Placement Exam.
Please schedule a meeting with one of our Academic Advisors within the Skilled Trades program to help you with your plan of study.
Apprenticeships
Individuals seeking admission into an Apprenticeship Program must do so directly with
the Apprenticeship Organization. There are several area Apprenticeships working in
partnership with Columbus State Community College. Through these partnerships apprentices
will earn college credit toward an Associate of Applied Science Degree in one of several
areas as they complete their apprenticeship program.
Note: Admission to these programs is not through Columbus State Community College. You
must apply directly with an Apprenticeship Partner. For more information contact
the Apprenticeship Coordinator, J.D. White at (614) 287-5211.
