Columbia Basin College has set an admissions application deadline of December 11, 2009 for winter quarter.  In the past, potential students could apply for enrollment right up until the time classes started each quarter.  Winter quarter begins January 4, 2010.

After students apply for admission, they must take placement tests to determine if they are prepared for college math, English and reading.  Research shows that those applying for admission late, register for classes late, and have the highest rate of failure among college students.

In addition, with classes filling up, it’s important that students apply as soon as possible to be able to register for their classes.
