Admission Policy
NewEra College aims to attract applicants who have the potential to excel in their chosen fields. The admission criteria of NewEra College do not put significant weight on the academic performance of its applicants from their previous school as it is not the only measure of success. NewEra College gives applicants equal opportunity to pursue college education, especially those who were not able to get the opportunity to access high-quality education due to constraints in financials, geographical location, and other reasons. NewEra College believes that interest, proper guidance, exposure, and maturity can help students learn and improve performance. Thus, giving applicants the opportunity to join NewEra College to get a degree may help them get better opportunities or further their studies.
NewEra College admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, disability, sex, creed, religion, or age.
