Lack of English skills should not be a barrier to admission or participation.  In order to eliminate barriers we take appropriate measures to assess each student's ability to participate and benefit through placement testing and counseling.  Based on the assessment and counseling, students are then provided with campus services to be better prepared for successful participation.  However, students who are not native speakers of English shall be required to demonstrate proficiency in English on a standardized test selected by Central Lakes College.
