You will need to take skills assessment tests in English, reading, and mathematics to determine your level of proficiency before you can register for classes. If you already completed a comparable college course, you may be able to waive this requirement by transferring those credits. Developmental courses are available for students who need to improve their basic skills before taking college-level courses.
