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 (1.5 MB). 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).
