Prerequisites

A prerequisite is a requirement - or its equivalent - which must be met before a student is admitted into a course. A prerequisite is generally another Northeastern Junior College course or a demonstrated proficiency. Prerequisites may be waived based on diagnostic testing or the recommendation of an appropriate faculty member or Department Chair.

All students at the college are expected to demonstrate proficiency in basic communication, mathematics, and reading skills necessary to be successful in college-level courses. During registration orientation sessions, basic skills are evaluated for course advising and placement for success. Previous educational records and diagnostic testing will also be considered for optimum course selection and advising.
