Due to the popularity of the heavy equipment operations program, there will be a change in the application review process for fall 2010.  Rather than accepting students strictly on a rolling admissions basis, students will be accepted based on the strength of their application for the 18 spaces that are available.  General criteria for consideration will include high school average, regents exam scores (if a New York State student), grades in related coursework, results of standardized tests (if available), and any additional information provided through letters of recommendation, a personal essay indicating career goals, and a resume.

We anticipate beginning the initial review on October 15.  Therefore, it is very important that you apply by the end of August and that the transcript, as well as any supporting documentation, be in the Alfred State Admissions Office prior to this date.

If space is still available after this initial review, applications will be accepted on a rolling admissions basis based on the criteria mentioned above.
