Prospective students may be admitted to UC Clermont College to pursue a certificate provided they have graduated from an accredited high school or have successfully completed the requirements for a GED High School Equivalency Certificate or a Home School Program.    

Application Process

From the time you first think about college to your first day of class, you’ll go through several phases of activity.  The first step in being admitted to a certificate program is to apply for admission.  This section of our site is designed to help you complete this process.

Online Application Preferred

We prefer you apply online which will require a credit card to pay the $50 application fee.  If you require a paper application or want to pay the $50 application fee by check or money order, you may download a printable version and send it to the address on the application.

Let's Get Started!

Begin the online application process…https://apply.uc.edu/OnlineApply/ 

1. You will need to create an account to begin the online application.  Write down your user name and password, and keep them somewhere safe. You will need them for steps that occur later in the admission process.
2. After you’ve completed the online application, have your official transcripts sent to us.  Contact your high school, home school superintendent and any other colleges that you have attended and request that they send your official transcripts directly to us at UC Clermont College Admissions, 4200 Clermont College Drive, Batavia, OH  45103.  ACT/SAT scores are not required for admission to UC Clermont College. GED recipients must submit a copy of their GED scores, and can send them to the same address.

Remember, you can check the status of your application online anytime.
