How To Apply for Admission

Looking to Kick-Start Your Education?

At Sojourner-Douglass College, what we look for in a student is the ability to succeed - high motivation and emotional maturity as well as scholastic achievement and aptitude. Applicants for admission to the College are measured in personal and academic terms. Personal evaluation includes the examination of community involvement, job advancement, and biographical material furnished by teachers, counselors and supervisors as well as impressions gained during the admissions process. Academic ability, related achievement, community citizenship, and mature social development are also considered very important factors in admitting students. Admissions may be granted to students with a high school diploma, or its equivalent or to students who can present evidence of ability to benefit from the College's programs.

Your experience, values, goals and expectations are important to us. We are seeking students who are self-motivated and creative, but who also know the necessity of teamwork and community consciousness. Please share whatever information you feel will help us evaluate your application.

While Sojourner-Douglass College makes every attempt to make its admissions and academic process flexible and accommodating, we also want our student to understand the concepts of punctuality and accountability, so please be sure to follow these steps:
  1. Schedule a time with the Sojourner-Douglass Main Office to take the mandatory assessment test used to determine your language and math skills level. (This is a requirement for all new students, even if you are transferring credits or a prior degree.)

  2. Submit a completed Admissions Application along with a $25.00 non-refundable admission fee to the Main Office.

  3. Request that your high school/ college or university send an official transcript(s) of your grades to Sojourner-Douglass College at least 6-8 weeks prior to your anticipated start date.

  4. Submit a resume and autobiographical sketch (no more than 3 pages) for counseling purposes along with your Admissions Application (outlines for these are available in the Sojourner-Douglass Main Office).

Sojourner-Douglass College offers three terms per year (Fall, Winter and Spring). Applications for admissions are reviewed on a continuous basis; however, persons applying to Sojourner-Douglass College should complete the admissions process at least six (6) weeks before the period in which they wish to enroll.

Our classes are Monday through Thursday, from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
