What Are the Admission Requirements?

All applicants must take the pre-admission COMPASS test before registering for classes at J. F. Drake State Technical College.

Prospective students must submit a transcript of grades from their high school or college or GED results, with the admission application. The applicant will be notified of the day and the time for testing and registration. Transfer students are responsible for having an official transcript of credits mailed to the admissions office prior to their first semester for evaluation of courses that may transfer to Drake State.

Academic Advisement

Potential students are encouraged to talk with a college counselor and various program leaders prior to deciding on a particular program of study. For students who are undecided about an area of interest, Drake's Career Center has a large assortment of media on different careers. Once a student decides on a program of study, the program leader of the chosen program becomes the student's academic advisor.
