Steps to Apply
WELCOME TO GENERATIONS COLLEGE. YOUR FUTURE STARTS HERE.
Our admission counselors are ready to help you complete the application process quickly and easily. The following process is for all incoming students, whether new to college or transferring from another institution. Follow these simple steps to become a Generations student.
ADMISSIONS PROCESS
Get started in two easy steps:
Step 1: Complete the Generations College application form provided by the Admissions Office or available here and submit it in-person during an Information Session or during a meeting with one of our admissions counselors. You are also able to register completely online, simply click here.
Step 2: Admission decisions are based upon an applicant’s potential for academic success as determined by the student’s academic transcripts, GED scores, and letters of recommendation, if any. Therefore, in addition to the application and the application fee the following items must be submitted before an admissions decision can be made:
1) An official high school transcript of credits from the high school last attended or GED scores.
2) An official transcript from any college previously attended.
SUPPLEMENTAL ADMISSIONS MATERIALS
Letters of Recommendation should be sent directly from a former teacher, employer, colleague, or other individual that knows the character of the applicant and can speak to the prospective student’s ability to succeed in a college environment to admissions@Generations.edu or to:
Generations College
Attn: Admissions
29 East Madison Street, 2nd Floor
Chicago, IL 60602-4405
Once you have completed the application and submitted the application fee an admissions counselor will contact you to guide you through the rest of the application process. Upon acceptance students may choose to attend full-time or part-time and may choose up to two simultaneous programs of study, providing the student has been accepted into both programs.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
International Students
In addition to the standard application requirements, international applicants should review the full checklist on the International Students page. Requirements include English proficiency (TOEFL, when applicable), passport documentation, financial support documents (Affidavit of Support and bank statement), a recent passport-size photograph, and credential evaluations as applicable.
Proof of current U.S. visa or legal status is required for applicants already in the United States (for example, F-1 transfer or change-of-status applicants). Initial F-1 applicants applying from outside the United States do not need an existing U.S. visa to apply; after admission and issuance of Form I-20, they apply for an F-1 student visa at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
See the International Students page for the complete checklist and next steps.
