How do I register for one of these tests?

ACT:  www.act.org
SAT:  www.collegeboard.com
The two tests listed above require students to wait to receive the results.

CPT:  This test is given at CFCC.  Students receive their results as soon as they finish the exam.  Students will need to bring the following:

  1. $10.00 testing fee
  2. Social security number
  3. Photo identification

Call 854-2322, ext. 1564 to register. 

 

Do I have to take Intermediate Algebra?
Students may skip Intermediate Algebra with passing scores on the College Level Math (CLM) exam. 

The CLM is available to students who have taken the ACT Math and earned a score of 19 or higher, and to students who have taken the SAT Math with a score of 440 or higher.  (Students who have taken the CPT since November 2007 were automatically given the CLM if they achieved a 95 or higher on the CPT Algebra section.)

The CLM can place high achieving math students in the appropriate college-level math course.

Register for the CLM by calling (352) 854-2322, ext. 1564.  Initial testing costs $10.00 and requires students to bring the same materials needed for the CPT (see previous column). Retakes are available for $5.00 and may be taken every 31 days.

 

What do I need to bring to Registration Day?

  • Signed orientation form (online orientation)
  • Signed permission form
    • High school – available from guidance counselor. 
    • Home school – letter from parent
  • Proposed class schedule

Remember, visit your guidance counselor for your permission form before summer vacation begins!

If I earn a “D” in a course but my other grades are high, can I continue in the dual enrollment program?
No, students are required to maintain grades of “C” or higher in all courses.  Students who are not successful in a course are invited to repeat the course after they have graduated from high school.

 

If you experience difficulty with a course, do not wait to ask for help! 

  1. Contact your instructor.  
  2. Contact your guidance counselor.
  3. Contact a CFCC advisor for information about tutors and other college resources.
