What does it mean to be admitted or accepted to the college?
You must apply and be accepted to establish your student record and to register for and attend courses.

However, being admitted to the college does not automatically qualify every student for all college-level courses. Some courses have prerequisites or other special requirements that help ensure students they are academically ready for the kind of work that will be expected in that class. The application process includes assessment testing and/or transcript review to determine which courses you may register for.
