Online Application Tips:

  • Enter the projected date for your high school graduation.
  • Select "Learn and Earn Online--for high school students only" for your program of study or academic major.  Scroll to the bottom of the list for this major.

Take the Accuplacer

In addition to having approval of your high school administration, you will need to make sure you've met the prerequisite(s) for your chosen course. At CFCC, each LEO class requires students to have a minimum score on at least one placement exam. (See LEO schedule for course prerequisites.)

Accuplacer: Most students will need to take at least one section of the Accuplacer placement exam which can be taken at CFCC each week.  See the Testing Services site for the placement test schedule, testing guidelines, and Accuplacer test preparation information.

SAT or ACT: CFCC also accepts official SAT or ACT test scores that meet minimum requirement. Please refer to the Placement Test Advising Guide for acceptable cutoff scores for Accuplacer, SAT, and ACT tests. CFCC MUST receive these scores no later than June 4, 2010. (The PSAT is NOT an accepted placement exam at CFCC since it is not a college-entrance exam.)

Register for Class

Complete the LEO Course Request Form and email it to rhardin@cfcc.edu or fax to 910.362.7152 no later than June 4, 2010.
