Students may be required to take a placement test to determine eligibility at that college.

After you apply… Wait for correspondence from the college to determine if you have been accepted. If you have been accepted, follow up with the college to make sure you have fulfilled all of their requirements. Placement tests? Additional paperwork? Meet with Miss Duckro to go over your course selection each semester.
