College Readiness

Show college readiness in one of these ways;

• 3.0 (83%) or higher high school GPA (final senior year official transcript)
• SAT scores in English (480+) or math (varies – discuss with academic counselor)
• Enrollment in an International Baccalaureate (IB) program
• Enrollment in the Academic Challenge program
• Foundations of College English course (75 or higher) or Foundations of College Math course (77 or higher)
• A or B grade in AP English course
• A or B grade in AP math course
• A or B grade in Pre-Calculus or Calculus
• Previous college credit (C or better in college-level math or English literature courses) or degree. C grades include C-
• GED College-Ready score of 165+

If students do not have one of the college-readiness indicators above, they may enter a college-level course by taking advantage of the co-requisite support model to refresh their skills. This allows students to start directly with their academic program requirements and receive additional support from their instructor each week to ensure they are successful.

If students wish to be exempt from the support course and do not have one of the college-readiness indicators above, they may schedule to take the ACCUPLACER placement test by contacting their campus. The Placement Test Study Guides webpage provides sample questions to help you prepare for the test.
