Question

What does open enrollment mean for colleges ?

Answer 1

It means you don't have to have a certain GPA or SAT/ACT score to get it. That's how both of the colleges I went to are.

Answer 2

open enrollment, a policy of admitting to college all high-school graduates in an effort to provide a higher education for all who desire it.  To colleges it brings in more tuition.  To professors it means failing many students who simply cannot be successful in college.  Instead of the admittance process screening students at that time, the screening is done at the course level.  (college prof)

Answer 3

"open enrollment, a policy of admitting to college all high-school graduates in an effort to provide a higher education for all who desire it. To critics it means an inevitable lowering of standards as a considerable effort must be devoted to development of basic skills. The most ambitious programs of open enrollment in the United States have been undertaken in California and New York City. Under California's system, codified in 1960, high-school graduates in the top eighth of their class may attend a Univ. of California campus. Those in the top third qualify for a state university. All the rest may attend a two-year community college. New York City's plan, begun in 1970, guarantees every high-school graduate, academic or vocational, a place in a city college. In the 1980s and 90s many educational institutions partially reversed such policies and tightened admission requirements.

See D. Lavin, Right Versus Privilege (1981)."

Answer 4

basically if you meet all the requirements for the college which usually arent unreasonable then you automatically are accepted into the college almost like a public school

Answer 5

It means you don't have to book an appointment or see anyone specifically .... just turn up on the day they say they're having an open enrollment (any time from say 9am to 4pm or 5pm) and speak to their office administrators or tutors and sign up!....

Good luck:)
