Transcripts of all previous academic work in high school and college are required. Students may be exempt from assessment for English, reading, and/or mathematics if prior course work meets the necessary criteria.
Request your former school(s) to send an official transcript to the college. Transcripts become a part of the students permanent file.
The Basic Skills Assessment (BSA) must be taken prior to your orientation date. You will not be allowed to register for classes until you have placement levels on file. Possible BSA exemptions are shown on an exemption list found within the catalog.
The BSA lasts two and one-half hours and is composed of multiple choice questions. The test is administered throughout the year at various times and locations. For sign ups, questions and/or concerns regarding assessment, please call the Assessment Office. 530-895-2350
Orientation appointments will be mailed to all new and new transfer students upon receipts of their application to the college. if you do not hear from Orientation, call them at: 530-895-2416
Possible orientation exemptions are shown within the catalog. The final step in orientation is to registration into classes. After registration and counseling be sure to check with a faculty advisor for final approval of your classes.
Information concerning enrollment and registration dates for each term is contained in the schedule of courses published prior to the beginning of each term. Students appearing for registration may discover that desired courses may be closed. You should anticipate this situation and make alternative course choices prior to registration. For further information, email or call Admissions and Records, 530-895-2361.
Students may add classes that are still available during the first two weeks of school. Course registration during this time is accomplished by having the instructor sign an add form. This is also an excellent time to contact your faculty advisor.
All fees are collected when you register. Be prepared to pay at that time. Fees are published in the class schedule prior to the start of registration. Fee waivers and fee exemptions are available.
