The Richard Bland College of William & Mary has an open admissions policy, meaning it accepts all applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements. As a two-year junior college, it does not publish a traditional acceptance rate. The school focuses on providing accessible higher education, particularly for students planning to transfer to four-year institutions.
Prospective students must submit a high school diploma or GED and complete an application. While standardized test scores are not required, some programs may have additional criteria. The college emphasizes affordability and smooth transfer pathways, especially to the College of William & Mary and other Virginia universities.
