Placement Requirements
CSC uses your high school GPA to place you into the appropriate level of English in your first semester. This is completes as follows:
| HS GPA | CSC Course/s | |
|---|---|---|
| 3.0 or higher | SLO English (as required for degree) | Essential Studies Credit. |
| 2.99 or lower | ENG 111 Intro to College Writing (3 credits) | Elective Credit. |
| EDUC 121 The Academic Life | Elective Credit. |
Students with transfer credit in English have this requirement waived.
Students may be in TSP courses (ENG 111/MATH 101/MATH 102) for math, English, or both. All students enrolled in ENG 111 (3 credits) and/or MATH 101 are required to take EDUC 121 The Academic Life
All TSP students will be able to take (online) placement testing in English if they feel that their High School GPA is not a fair representation of their skill in English. Please contact csayaloune@dektinary.com if you would like more information about this process.
