  Start Your Application

You can order your high school transcript or your GED transcripts. Don’t forget to send transcripts for all previously attended non-KCTCS colleges, for example, any dual credit classes you may have taken in high school.

In order to accommodate prospective students who cannot take a placement test, ACTC will use a cumulative high school GPA for placement through Summer 2022, as long as your high school graduation date is within the past five years. High school GPA placement is based on the unweighted cumulative GPA recorded at the end of the most recent term completed.

If you have not met the high school GPA requirement, or your high school graduation date is greater than five years ago, you may need to submit additional test scores. 

• ACT and KYOTE scores can be submitted on a high school transcript.
• You can request ACT scores online. 
• You can request SAT scores online. 
• AP scores may be used for placement instead of ACT scores. You can request your AP scores online.
