Prerequisite Requirements

Course Placement Testing for First Time College Students

AC=Arcadia Commons Campus
TTC= Texas Township Campus

Kalamazoo Valley Community College wants students to have the best possible chance to succeed in their classes. Students attending college for the first time are required to take a basic skill assessment prior to registering for any of the courses listed in the table below. The results of the assessment will provide guidance on selecting the appropriate course level. If you have not yet taken either the ASSET or COMPASS assessment, please call the Student Service Center at TTC (269) 488-4100 or AC (269) 373-7834 to schedule an appointment for your course placement assessment. If you need clarification regarding your personal situation, call the Counseling Center at TTC (269) 488-4123 or AC (269) 373-7832 for assistance.

Recommended Course Prerequisites
Recommended course prerequisites are listed within the course description which can be viewed in the course catalog.

 

Prerequisite Enforcement

Courses with an * in the table below have a required prerequisite, either placement score or preparatory coursework that will be enforced at the time of registration. These prerequisites can be met by achieving the minimum required score on the ASSET or COMPASS placement assessment, or by successfully completing the equivalent level preparatory coursework.

If our records do not show that you have met the prerequisite, you will receive an error message ("Preq and Test Score Error") and will be unable to complete your registration. You should then select the appropriate preparatory course, or complete placement testing if you have not done so. Students who think they have met the required prerequisite by another means or have a valid reason for it to be waived, should contact the Counseling Center at

TTC (269) 488-4123 or AC (269) 373-7832 or emailing counseling.
