*The Academic Skills Assessment is required before enrolling in math or English courses.  If a student places into lower level courses than are required for his/her degree, then the student needs to first enroll in lower level courses before enrolling in the courses need for graduation.

The student earning a Certificate of Achievement needs to be aware that the courses taken are specifically designed to help in obtaining employment after earning the certificate and are not designed for transfer to a four-year institution.  If the student wants to take courses that will transfer, then the Associate of Arts Degree should be pursued.

**The courses for this Certificate may be applied to the Associate of Applied Science-Business Administrative Systems Option. Courses that will fulfill the graduation requirements for Social Science are listed in the "Associate of Applied Science Degree Requirements" in the college catalog.

Credit by exam is available for some of the courses in the Business Administrative Systems program.  Check with the Business Administrative Systems Department Coordinator in TECH 105 for details.
