- You have an associate or higher degree from an accredited institution in the United States;
- You are enrolling in less than 7 units and in courses for which there are no English, reading or mathematics advisories or prerequisites; or
- You have a transcript with satisfactory grades in appropriate courses from another accredited college or universities in the United States.
If you are exempt from placement testing, you must see a counselor in order to complete a matriculation waiver form.
