I placed into a Basic Skills math or English course…what does this mean?
These courses are designed for students who need to further develop their English and/or math skills before they should take college level courses. Do not delay taking these courses because you will only delay your progress towards meeting your educational goals
Can I take college level courses at the same time I complete basic skills classes? The answer is yes, but not just any class is recommended.
You should see a counselor for more information about basic skills courses
