[quote=Anonymous]Can you provide a context for the sentence?

Was it on a college website, perhaps requiring the curriculum that students should have undertaken?  I've seen colleges that list the courses they expect applicants to have taken.  Like this:

4 years of English
4 years of Math (including 2 years of Algebra and 1 year of Geometry)
3 years of the same foreign language, or 2 years each of 2 different foreign languages

etc . . .

In that context, I would assume that the statement, "no Common Core Curriculum Requirement" would mean that the college accepts students whose schools use CCSS, as well as those that use alternative standards, either because they're in a non-CC state, or because they are private.

I would see it as an advertising gimmick, aimed at attracting people who have strong feelings on the Common Core, because no college that I know of requires students to have taken a specific curriculum, or to have had their classes aligned to a specific state's standards, so specifying "no CCSS" doesn't mean much.

Now, if you saw it on the page describing an ed school curriculum, or talking about a high school, I would interpret it differently.
