Placement Tests and Prerequisites

Math and English Courses:
- Placement Tests: All students who have not had college English or high school Calculus or college math who want to take a math or English course must take the Placement Test, which can be available at a distance or locally, which means you must start by contacting Admissions. If you have had math and/or English courses at another college, and you believe this will meet the prerequisite for a math or English course, fax your college transcript or grade report with the course information to the Registrar’s Office and then contact the Registrar Office and follow the process above to complete the registration.
Other Courses:
- Many other courses have pre-requisites that are listed in the College Catalog. Therefore, if you are a part-time student and want to register for one of these courses please follow the same process as outlined above in "Placement Tests and Prerequisites."

You will need to provide the College with a copy of your high school transcript or GED and college transcript (if applicable).

Proof of Immunization

If you enroll for 6 or more credit hours (other than online) and you were born in 1957 or later, New York State Public Health Law requires you to provide the College with proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. Ask your physician to provide certification; you may need additional immunizations to receive the certification. Medical and religious exemptions are permitted by law. For further information on immunization requirements, contact the College's health services office at 315-255-1743, extension 2203 or 2249.

Proof of Residence

Tuition for credit courses varies based upon your place of permanent residence. If you reside outside of Cayuga county, but in New York State you must provide a certificate of residence in order to take advantage of the lowest tuition cost. All others pay double the tuition cost.

Taking a Non-Credit Course?

Courses listed as “NC” (non-credit) have the same tuition and fee charges as a 3-credit course.

Taking a Credit-Free Course?

Cayuga offers a variety of credit-free courses for personal enrichment and professional development.
