In order to be eligible for admission to the Music program, students must complete the following eligibility requirements. Students will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the program is full.
Eligibility Requirements
- Meet with an Admissions Advisor in the Student Welcome Center located in Clark Hall.
- Complete an Application for Admission to Iowa Western Community College.
- Submit all official transcripts (high school and college).
- * Take a placement test:
All new students need to complete a skills assessment
test called the COMPASS. If a student has taken the ASSET
or ACT recently, he or she can submit those scores in
lieu of taking the COMPASS test. Students who have already
completed math and/or English for college credit, should
check with an Admissions Advisor before scheduling the
COMPASS.
* Scores expire after two years. In order to be valid, scores cannot be more than two years old at the start of the term for which you have applied. Students who do not have valid test scores may schedule a time to take the COMPASS test by e-mailing testing@iwcc.edu or by calling Enrollment Services at 800.432.5852 extension 3277 or 712.325.3277 (select option 5).
