Initial Course Placement Advising
Initial Course Placement for New Students
All entering students will be classified as Level 1 in reading, writing (English) and mathematics unless placement scores indicate otherwise. Level 1 students enroll in co-requisite learning support classes for success in college-level work. Level 2 students are deemed to be college ready and are not required to enroll in co-requisite support classes.
