Admission to the City Colleges

Apply for Admission

The City Colleges do not require students to take an admittance test. However, students are required to take a placement test to assess their English, reading and mathematics levels. Students who hold a bachelor's degree or have successfully completed a college level English or mathematics course with a grade of 'C' or better may be eligible to have the placement test requirement waived.
