Gunsmith Admission Requirements

Admission into the Gunsmith Technology program is separate from admission to the College. The first step students must take is to complete an admissions folder. All of the following items must be submitted to the MCC Admissions Office.

Notice: Applicants must fill out both forms below.

  1. Completed application for college admission
  2. Official high school transcript or high school equivalency diploma required (send to MCC Admissions Office, 3700 South Center Street, Marshalltown, Iowa 50158).
  3. Official transcripts from other colleges you have attended, if applicable (send to Admissions Office).
  4. Take or submit ACT or ACCUPLACER; fax scores to 641 236-0036 or email scores to Kelly Davis. To determine scores needed for remediation, consult a Student Success Specialist.
  5. Iowa law forbids any person under the age of 18 to possess a handgun. Prospective students shall be eighteen (18) years of age or older on or before the first day of the first Gunsmith Tech course in which they are registered.
  6. Students selected for moving forward in the process will be notified, and sent a link by email to complete the background check. Students will pay for the background check. Students must prove their eligibility to own and possess firearms. This includes all project guns, receivers, etc. that the student needs to procure while enrolled.

Note: If felony and/or misdemeanor charges are found on a background check after the student is enrolled, the student could be dismissed and the student would be liable for any tuition already paid if beyond drop date.
