[Assessment & Advisement][Residency Requirements]ADMISSION POLICIES
Admission to Barstow Community College is open to anyone (subject to the Residency Requirements) who has a high school diploma, a General Education Diploma, a Proficiency Certificate, or is 18 years of age or older and shows evidence of being able to benefit from the instruction offered by the college. High school students are also admissible provided they have a letter signed by their high school principal or designee and by a parent or guardian.
ASSESSMENT-ADVISEMENT FOR PLACEMENT
Assessment in basic skills (reading, writing, mathematics) is required prior to registering for classes.
Assessment and advisement at Barstow Community College are designed to assist the student in selecting courses which match with his/her current abilities and thus help to ensure success. Most course placements in entry-level basic skills are advisory, and appeals options are available for students who feel that their skills have not been accurately assessed. A student may take an alternative math or English test from the Assessment Testing Officer, or petition for a review of placement from Counseling.
Students who feel that they have either a learning or physical disability which might adversely affect their test scores should contact the DSPS Office at (760) 252-2411, ext. 7225, for alternative testing formats. Further assessment information and a complete schedule of test dates is available in the Schedule of Classes.
