College Catalog

Getting Started | Take Placement Tests

All new students who are seeking a degree or certificate are required to take English and math placement tests. Students not seeking degrees who plan to enroll in English, world languages, math or natural science must also take placement tests. There is a $15 fee for taking initial placement tests. Students who have already completed college-level English and/or math with a 2.0 GPA or better may not have to take placement tests.* There may be exceptions for Professional/Technical programs. Each college also has Orientation Sessions which new students are encouraged to attend.

* Students enrolling at Central cannot use math courses older than 3 years as prerequisites. Placement tests will be needed.
