Resources on Placement and Registration Standards
Beginning in Summer 2012, the College will require incoming students to place above a minimum level on PCC placement tests in Mathematics, Reading and Writing.
The College's Board of Governors believes it is important to provide the public an avenue to hear information about the new standards, and to ask questions. Toward that end, the Board held a series of public information forums at several locations in Pima County.
