Welcome to Harry S Truman College, home of the Falcons! The Admissions team is excited to help you along your educational journey! Truman College is an open enrollment institution and students are accepted year-round.
Truman College Credit Admissions Steps:

  1. Apply – Complete the Admissions Application. 
  2. Log into my.ccc.edu Once you apply, within 30-90 minutes you will receive an email from AccountManagement@ccc.edu with your CCC login credentials. After you receive that email please log-in to my.ccc.edu with your CCC information. 

     

  3. ​Verify Academic Placement – You can verify your academic placement level by taking a test, or by presenting a college transcript or official ACT/SAT or AP scores to your Truman Admissions Specialist.  
    • Placement Tests- A placement in Math and/or English must be completed. Once you are able to access the student portal you can take the Math placement test. The Math can be taken up to 5 times a calendar year. The English placement test can be taken once a calendar year at our Testing Center. Since the test(s) are very important we recommend you review our placement test website, where you can review our placement test preparation materials             
    • Previous College Credit – Students with a grade of "C" or better in equivalent college-level English and/or Math courses may be exempt from the placement test(s). Students must show proof with an accredited college transcript.
    • ACT/SAT or AP Scores– Students with valid ACT scores (21 in math and/or English), SAT scores (540 in English and 530 in Math) or AP test scores (3 or higher) may be exempt from the tests. ACT/SAT scores are valid for 4 years.

TRANSCRIPT CREDIT PROCEDURES
Students submitting transcripts from colleges or universities can submit official transcripts to the Registrar’s Office where the student intends to register and/or request a transcript evaluation to receive transfer credit.  We strongly encourage requesting official transcripts to be sent electronically. Please note, official transcripts are required to receive transfer credit.  Students transferring credit to City Colleges of Chicago are required to submit official college transcripts reflecting all college credits earned at other regionally accredited institutions previously attended.  Please email your college Registrar’s Office​ with any questions.   

 

Note: if unofficial transcripts are submitted as part of the admission process, they will not be evaluated for transfer credits and official transcripts will still be required for future enrollment and transfer credit evaluation.   

TRANSCRIPT WAIVER

If you meet one of the criteria below, you can apply for a transcript waiver which, if approved, will allow you to register for classes without submitting an official transcript.   

  • Your transcript is from a non-regionally accredited college/university.
  • You did not complete any college credit at your college/university (withdrawal) as validated by an unofficial transcript.
  • You did not earn any transferable grades (A, B, or Cs) at your college/university as validated by an unofficial transcript.
  • Your official transcript cannot be obtained due to college/university closing or natural disaster.
  • You have proof your official college transcript was sent to CCC. An unofficial transcript must be submitted in the interim.
  • You cannot obtain an official college transcript due to prior debt, and you have proof of being enrolled in a payment plan or of a recent payment transaction to that institution. However, you agree to submit an official transcript to CCC once your debt is cleared.
  • You have proof of an official international college/university transcript evaluation order (within the past 30 days).
  • You have earned multiple degrees and do not need to submit non-relevant college/university transcripts such as a masters or doctorate degree. Only undergraduate college work is required via official college transcript(s).

If you think that one of the above criteria applies to you, please complete the transcript waiver form Official_College_Transcript_Waiver_Form_Final [PDF]. If you have any questions, contact your Admissions Office.
