3. Take College Placement Test

   Incoming students are evaluated in reading, writing, and mathematical skills. A College Placement Test is given to determine skill levels in these areas. The results will be used, along with other information, to place you in the courses appropriate to your level of preparation. In some cases this may include non-college level developmental education courses.
