Picking Your College Classes

If you plan to attend college, it's VERY IMPORTANT that you are placed in the RIGHT CLASSES!

Did you know...

--> many college classes have prerequisites just like high school classes (these are classes you need to take first or English/math levels you must meet)

--> sometimes, students are incorrectly placed in remedial classes because the college doesn't have all of the information they need (remedial classes are high school level)

--> students need to show their college advisor the following information to make sure they are placed correctly!

• High School Transcript (showing completion of 11th grade English/math levels)

• SAT Scores (including any re-takes)

• AP/IB Test Scores

• College Transcripts (if you took college classes in high school)

--> it's very important for students to ASK QUESTIONS about why they were placed in specific classes
