If pattern requirements have not been met, the Registrar will complete an evaluation sheet that will show the developmental work that must be completed by the student during the first 18 hours of coursework at Shawnee College. High School Units will then be placed on the computer. The evaluation form will be stapled to the front of the high school transcript and placed in the student file. The Registrar will check at the end of the semester to see if pattern requirements were met, and then lift the provisional status of students who have completed the appropriate developmental coursework. All first-time students are required to take an examination for evaluating achievement in communication and computation skills prior to enrolling for credit courses.
Course placement is made on the basis of test performance.
Students with a composite score of 18 on the ACT examination or 21 on the enhanced ACT examination may be exempt from taking the entrance examination. All students are encouraged to register early for classes to ensure enrollment in desired classes and to avoid long delays. 4 p.m. Students may enroll until the close of registration. Registration closes August 22. All students attempting to enroll during the late registration period MUST contact the Admissions and Counseling department before their enrollment data will be processed.
