California Junior Colleges
Any high school graduate or those who are 18 years of age and older can be admitted to any of the California Junior Colleges. A State Proficiency Certificate holder is also admissible to a community college. Those who are planning to attend a community college are advised to still regard the requirements for high school graduation and include as many UC and CSU entrance requisites as possible.
Those who have taken up College Preparatory course in High School may take a lesser load once admitted to College. Community Colleges in California will administer a standard assessment test in Math and English to determine which level is appropriate for new students to begin their college education. Sometimes a “Self-assessment” is used for students to determine their own Math and English Placements.
