Admissions

The minimum age for enrollment is eighteen. The enrollment of high school students requires a special agreement between the Tennessee Board of Regents, the local board of education, and the Tennessee Technology Center at Hohenwald. Prospective students are urged to apply at any time.

Application steps are as follows:

• Contact the school to obtain information and an application form.
   
• Complete application and file it with the Center's Student Services Office.
   
• Discuss primary training objectives with the guidance counselor if applicable.
   
• Each student enrolling in a full-time program or Basic Skills/GED Preparation will undergo the Basic Skills Assessment Program. If a student is found deficient in reading, writing, mathematics, or study skills, he or she will attend the Tech Center's Technology Foundations Program as a part of the instructional day. This highly-individualized activity is designed to assist the student in making satisfactory progress in his/her chosen program.
   
• Although neither a high school diploma nor its equivalency is required for admission in most programs*, all students are encouraged to pursue such and will normally be enrolled in a General Education Development (GED) preparation program while pursuing their technical training. Adult Basic Education is housed on campus. The GED test is administered on campus monthly.
   
• To assist applicants with the selection of a suitable program, those enrolling without a high school diploma or GED may be referred for an ability to benefit test. Applicants will be notified of place, date, and time of testing.

*NOTE: Some classes, such as Cosmetology and Practical Nursing, require certain additional physical and educational requirements as listed below:

• COSMETOLOGY: The Center may only enroll a student who is at least 16 years of age (age requirement for high school students only) and has completed at least two (2) years of high school or the equivalent.
   
• PRACTICAL NURSING: Practical Nursing application forms are available and accepted at TTCH the last full week of May each year. The Center may only enroll an individual who has a high school diploma or its equivalent, and has successfully passed the California Achievement Test. The California Achievement Test is administered to all Practical Nursing applicants. Applicants are notified of place, date, time, and cost at the time of application.
