Supporting All Students: Our Admissions Principles
Lack of English skills will not be a barrier to admission or participation. In order to eliminate barriers, we take appropriate measures to assess each student's ability to participate and benefit through placement testing and counseling. Based on the assessment and counseling, students are then provided with campus services or a referral to community services to be better prepared for successful participation.
Admission to the college does not automatically qualify a student for all courses and/or programs of study or majors.
