New River Community and Technical College Statement of Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action

     New River Community and Technical College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Institution, committed to the principle that minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.  The College does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, blindness, or disability in its educational programs or in admission to, access to, treatment in, or employment as required by applicable state and federal law.

     New River CTC is an open-door admissions institution, which means that the College is committed to providing an educational opportunity to all persons regardless of educational background or preparation.  Placement testing is an admission requirement, used for counseling, evaluation and placement.  Results do not determine admission to the College.  New River CTC uses the ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer tests for placement purposes.

     Admission to the College does not ensure the entry of applicants into specific programs, nor does it imply eligibility to enroll in a course with established prerequisites or to enter a program that has a limited number of spaces and certain minimum entrance requirements.

     New River CTC offers a wide range of associate degree and certificate programs in fields such as allied health, business, computer science, cosmetology, education, and technical trades.  A complete list of program offerings can be found at www.newriver.edu. or call 866-349-3739 for more information.

     Students, parents, employees, and the general public are advised that all vocational opportunities will be offered regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, or disability. The offices listed below have been designated to handle inquiries regarding the nondiscrimination policies.
