An application is required and transcripts plus test scores are requested. If you plan to register for courses that require significant amounts of mathematics, reading or writing, then placement tests can be very useful for you. Assessment is a central part of the College orientation program. By taking these tests early in your college career, you will know whether you need preparatory work in English and Mathematics. (See section on Admissions )
The College Calendar lists important dates, such as deadlines for registration and withdrawing, holidays, examinations and the first day of classes.
The course descriptions, listed in alphabetical order in the last section of the catalog, help to determine which courses meet your college objectives.
