CONDITIONAL COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE PROGRAM INFORMATION

A COMPLETE SOLUTION

The Conditional College Acceptance Program allows you to apply simultaneously to Golden Gate College (GGC) and to an affiliate college or university. The affiliate institution will conditionally accept you even though your TOEFL score is below their requirement. You fulfill the institution’s requirement at GGC by either passing the TOEFL Test or satisfactorily completing GGC’s Guaranteed Transfer Program without TOEFL. You then transfer to the affiliate college or university.
