3. Interview

Your third and final step is a counselor interview which typically occurs immediately after your scheduled assessment. (In certain cases the interview will be conducted by phone.) In your interview our counselor will review your assessment scores, program choice and discuss with you any additional entrance requirements. Out-of-district applicants will be admitted in priority order for fall term after January 1 and for spring term after May 1.

TIP: Bring your high school and/or college transcripts to your interview. The college uses the completed assessment, along with high school and other postsecondary transcripts, to measure your skill level and to help place you in courses and/or a program.
