Getting Started

College readiness is a combination of academic readiness (current grades of A, B, and C) and personal readiness, including self-advocacy, self-management, time management, communication, study skills, and work ethic. Also, students demonstrate reading, writing, and math college readiness from NextGen Accuplacer, PSAT/SAT/ACT college entrance exams, etc. All students must take the NextGen Accuplacer (or ACT/SAT), including students taking courses without prerequisites (courses that must be completed before another course is taken). These scores are used for placement, remediation, and other planning towards students’ specific career or college pathways.
