Admission to Kensington College is conducted throughout the year. The following criteria must be met to be accepted: a prospective student must possess a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent, which would include a General Education Development Certificate (GED), or transcripts from a postsecondary school verifying completion of a program of at least two years in length and for which credit may be applied toward a baccalaureate degree.

The school will conduct a personal interview to evaluate the applicant’s potential for on-the-job success. The school also requires an acceptable score on the entrance exam—a two-part English test and a five-minute keyboarding test. A computer proficiency test will be administered upon admission.

Depending upon the score, a basic computer skills course may be required before the student begins formal classroom training. The passing score for admission, as determined by school administration, is as follows:

Legal Secretary Program: 50% passing score

Paralegal:  60% passing score

Legal Administrative Assistant:  60% passing score

Admissions Procedures:

Prospective students should contact the Administration office for information regarding the school and to schedule a personal interview and campus tour. During this interview, information will be exchanged between the interviewer and the prospective student and with the school personnel having special knowledge of subject areas (i.e. payment plans available, graduate placement assistance, etc.) If the applicant applies for admission, the entrance exam will be given. If a passing score is achieved, the application will be evaluated for acceptance and the applicant advised of the resultant decision. Students will be admitted to the institution without regard to race, creed, color, ethnic background, or native origin.
