Before registering for courses, students matriculating into an associate degree or specific certificate programs must complete an Accuplacer placement assessment in required areas, which may include reading, math, writing, and/or computer skills. This assessment will place the student in the appropriate college or foundation course(s). Admittance to specific courses and programs sometimes requires placement assessments. Please see the Academic Policies section of this catalog under VIII Academic Placement Policy.
After completing the placement assessments, students will schedule an advising session to develop an academic plan for the semester. Students waived from all placement assessment requirements should contact the Advising and Transfer Center to schedule an appointment (603-427-7728 or greatbayadvising@ccsnh.edu). This advising session includes instructions on using the Student Information System (SIS) and Navigate to look up courses, register for classes, and information on college programs and services.
