Course Options

• Academic Course Placement
  College-level course placement in English 105, English 100, or Bridge 115 is necessary. Students in this category may also enroll in technical courses.
• Technical Course Placement
  Students whose English course placement is below college level (Bridge 87, Bridge 90, Bridge 93, EAP 100, EAP 121) must commit to a specific technical program and only enroll in technical classes within that program. Technical courses generally do not transfer to four year colleges and universities.
