Each student is responsible for choosing his/her own classes to enroll in. What classes you must take depends 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 go though self-assessment for English/English as a Second Language and Math placement level. Upon acceptance, students will receive material for self-assessment.

Follow the steps below to select your courses:

Read the Selection of Classes information. Pay attention to the example listed on the third and fourth pages.

Choose your general education requirement sheet and print the appropriate sheet.

Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (general education requirement for both University of California system and California State University system – choose this form if you haven’t decided which university you would like to transfer to).

Open the Palomar College Catalog.

If you have decided on a major and which university to transfer to, go to Assist.org to find out the list of major preparation courses. Here is the Assist Navigation Guide for this site.

Using all the references above, start selecting your classes. If you have been notified of your ESL placement, make sure to select the appropriate ESL class. Using the Plan Your Schedule Sheet will help you avoid classes that overlap, or are offered at other campuses.
