Documentation Needed for Admissions

Applicants are required to submit a completed application with a $30 application fee to the Admissions office. The application for admission is available from the college’s website at www.ccm.edu . All students seeking to earn a certificate or degree must provide proof of high school graduation with either a transcript or a  copy of the HS diploma. The student must also provide:

1. Submission of a Valid Record of Immunization

New Jersey law requires that all full-time students present a valid record of immunization against Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Hepatitis B or proof of serologic immunity as a condition of enrollment. The state requires two doses of the Measles vaccine, one dose of the Mumps vaccine, and one dose of the Rubella vaccine, or all of the vaccines combined within the MMR vaccine. Students born before 1957 are exempt from this regulation. Additionally, the documentation must include verification of a three-dose Hepatitis B vaccine.
As of July 1, 2020, the State of New Jersey requires that students be required to provide verification of immunization against Meningococcal disease. This includes two doses of the Meningitis vaccine. Such documentation must be submitted to the college along with other immunization documentation.
Individuals who are not in the Nursing, Radiography or Allied Health programs are exempt from these requirements if they are:
31 years of age or older (for Measles, Mumps, Rubella only), are taking less than 12 credits, are 100% online, or have medical or religious reasons with documentation to substantiate such exemptions. Students should contact health-services@ccm.edu for more details about the immunization requirements.

2. Submission of Medical Information in the Form Prescribed by the College

This information is required of students enrolled in certain academic programs or involved in intercollegiate athletics.

3. English Language Proficiency

All applicants whose first language is not English have the option to submit TOEFL, SAT or ACT scores to support their admission application to County College of Morris (CCM). However, they may be required to take an additional placement examination administered at CCM before registering for classes or other academic work.

  • F-1 visa applicants and applicants applying from overseas – including Puerto Rico – must submit a TOEFL score of at least 97 (computer-based test) or 32 (Internet-based) or a minimum IELTS exam score of 5 by July 1 for the Fall Semester or November 1 for the Spring Semester.
  • F-1 visa applicants submitting scores below the minimum will not be offered admission because we will be unable to guarantee a full-time schedule as is required of F-1 students.
  • F-1 visa applicants will be required to write a LOEP essay to assist in ESL placement prior to registering for class

4. Proof of Resident Status

Students who are non-immigrants, visa holders, temporary residents, refugees or employment authorization card holders (I-688A) must present evidence of their status to the Admissions office.
Permanent Resident (I-551) students must present copies of their cards (not expired) to the Admissions Office
Undocumented students must provide proof of attending a New Jersey High School for three (3) or more years or proof of having graduated from a New Jersey high school or that they possess a GED or equivalent. Undocumented students must complete and sign an affidavit indicating that the student has filed an application to legalize his/her immigration status or will file an application as soon as they are eligible to. A Request for In County Tuition Status form can be filled out and brought to the Records and Registration Office, Student Community Center, Room 220.
The tuition rate charged to an eligible undocumented individual who satisfies all requirements shall be based upon county of residence.  All others will be billed the out-of-state tuition rate.
