General Policy

Cottey College encourages applications from students seeking an independent, women’s liberal arts and sciences college committed to women’s leadership, social responsibility, and global awareness.

All candidates for admission must be graduates of accredited high schools or have satisfied high school graduation requirements through the G.E.D., by special official arrangements or through an accredited online or home school organization.

Admission is based on prior performance and one’s potential to succeed at Cottey. Cottey College is committed to equal educational opportunity and does not unlawfully discriminate in its educational policies and practices on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other factor protected by law.

Application for admission from each candidate should be on file in the Office of Enrollment Management as early as possible; the College accepts students for admission only until it reaches capacity. Early application is, therefore, recommended.
