OAK VALLEY COLLEGE UTILIZES A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO ADMISSIONS.

Applications are considered based on a number of factors. First and foremost is your desire and ability to succeed. For good students, your grades may demonstrate your potential success in college. If your grades are less than perfect, your references, work experience, or other factors may represent your potential to succeed in earning your degree.

At Oak Valley College we look for students who we believe will thrive in a Christian, cohort based learning environment. The application process is created to understand you as an individual and how you will use the learning experience at Oak Valley College to improve your life circumstances, build your community and contribute to ministry efforts. We will review your academic history as well as gain a deeper understanding of your personal qualities that have contributed to your personal growth.
