How to
Select Your
Classes |
|
|
Each student is
responsible for
choosing his/her
own classes to
enroll in. What
classes you must
take depend on
your educational
program
(certificate,
Associate in
Arts degree, or
transfer
program) and
major.
A NOTE ABOUT THE
ENGLISH/ESL AND
MATH PLACEMENT
TESTS
Every new
student must
take
English(ESL) and
Math placement
tests as soon
they are
admitted. If you
are not in the
U.S. A. already,
and if you are
not a native
speaker of
English, the
International
Student
Counselor looks
at your academic
records as well
as standardized
test scores to
pre-determine
your English/ESL
level. We will
email you what
level of ESL you
should take
during your
first semester,
and you should
enroll in that
class.
Once you arrive
on campus, you
will take the
placement tests.
For those of you
who received the
pre-determined
ESL level, and
if the placement
result is
higher, you may
modify your
registration by
crashing into
the class of
your level.
If you are from
the country
where the
official
language is
English, you do
not receive the
pre-determined
English level.
You will take
the placement
test upon
arrival and
crash into an
appropriate
class when the
semester starts
or you can take
the course the
following
semester.
If you are
currently in the
U.S., you must
take the
placement test
at the
Assessment
Center
immediately
after you are
accepted.
