Advisory Committees

Special advisory committees composed of representatives of business and industry meet periodically with the College’s administration and faculty to advise on the development and improvement of the specific training programs.

Compensatory Education

Students whose English and/or Mathematics preparation are insufficient to demonstrate proficiency on the COMPASS test will be required to pass compensatory English and/or compensatory Mathematics before entry into the required related instruction of their chosen programs.

If a student tests into M 061 or M 090 for these programs: Accounting, Business, Medical Assistant, Radiologic, & Surgical Technology, then the student is highly encouraged to take M 090 or its equivalent during summer school in order to take M 095 for fall semester.
