nonrefundable testing fee for each test a student
attempts. If a student passes an exemption test for a

transcript. The letter grade of "E" assigned to an
exempted course does not change the student’s grade point
ratio. |

program and career goals. Your counselor will also
discuss your placement test scores and how they are used to
help determine which levels of English, math and reading (if

counselor, simply go to the Admissions receptionist in the
Student Services building Monday through Thursday between the
hours of 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and
Fridays between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. No appointment
is necessary. After you have reached a decision
concerning the program in which you wish to enroll, your
counselor will issue you a
letter of acceptance and give you information about your next
steps in the process of enrolling. If you are still
unsure about your choice of major at this time, your counselor
will discuss the many resources in The Career Center available
to help you make decisions about your future.

START CENTER at 803.981.7236 to schedule an appointment for
