Prospective Students

To enroll, students must be a high school graduate or recipient of a Certificate of Proficiency from the State Board of Education (students currently enrolled in grades K-12 need to contact the admissions office for further information). New students need to complete and return the Application for Admissions, and present a photo ID and immigration/visa documentation (non US citizens). Students will be given an appointment to take the Assessment Test, and ultimately given a time/date to register for classes.

The Assessment Placement Process is the participation in English, Reading, and Math computerized assessment. All new and/or returning students are required to participate in the Assessment Placement Process unless exempt as determined at the time of the Admissions application. The purpose of the Assessment Placement Process is to determine student English, Reading and Math courses skill levels.

It is highly recommended that students meet with a counselor. Our counselors are well versed in the programs offered at the college, and have assisted countless students in achieving their educational goals. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-in services are available. Contact the Counseling Department for more information or to set up an appointment.
