 Eligibility Instructions for Students

 You must show eligibility for the English class you wish to add. The eligibility requirements for each class are listed in the college catalog and are summarized on the reverse of this page. Keep your eligibility documents until you complete your program or degree.

I.       For students who enroll in the class during the registration period, the instructor will have a list showing your eligibility. If the list shows that you are not eligible for the class, the instructor will drop you from the class and add other students who are eligible.

II.    Students who have not pre-registered for the class and wish to add the class must show eligibility for the class before the instructor will sign an add-slip.

III. You are reminded that it is English Department policy that you must be present on the first day of class. If you are not present, you will be considered a no-show, and your place will be given to someone else.

IV. If you have lost your eligibility form, you may replace it. The following offices can provide the information listed.

1.      Matriculation Office, Conlan Hall, E204. Ask for your English Placement.

2.      Admissions and Records, Conlan Hall E107. Ask for an evaluation of your official transcript or present your SAT or AP test results. This office will verify your documents and give you a Placement Testing Waiver form.

3.      Outside of Batmale 514. Get a copy of the English Eligibility Essay Exam results for the previous semester.

4.      Batmale 514, English Eligibility Coordinator. Ask for information if you have problems making yourself eligible for a class after using the resources above. All students from out-of-state or private colleges will need to provide transcripts (online transcripts not accepted), course descriptions or syllabi, and possibly meet with the coordinator to determine status.

Eligibility procedures for Students Taking Evening Classes

Students taking evening classes may give your referral form to the instructor who will verify your status with the coordinator. You do not need to see Matriculation or Admissions and Records to get proof of eligibility unless you are a CCSF student.

Do not leave your eligibility documents with your instructor. Your instructor will look at the documents, make note of your eligibility and return them to you. Keep your documents to use for other classes and in subsequent semesters.
