Sequence of Classes
Students are placed into a pre-college English class based on the results of the English Placement test. The placement test is a required step after applying to the college. Pre-college ENGL classes often require enrollment in more than one class to work on reading, writing and study skills. Students will then progress through the sequence of classes until they complete the last pre-college ENGL class. All ENGL (English) classes require tuition.

After satisfactory completion of the Pre-College level classes and completion of the English placement test, students can be placed in college-level English courses. The English Placement test may be taken once every 3 months. College-level English courses are numbered 100 and above. The entry level course is ENGL&101, English Composition I.
