Preparing for COUN 200: Orientation to College

Welcome to De Anza College! Please read this webpage in its entirety as this will prepare you for our upcoming COUN 200 class.  Plan on arriving early to find parking and locating the classroom.

YOU MUST ATTEND EACH DAY IN ORDER TO RECEIVE CREDIT AND PASS THE COURSE!
If you are unable to attend every class, I would strongly recommend adding a different COUN 200 course that would best accommodate your schedule. 

ASSESSMENT/PLACEMENT TEST:
If you have not already taken your MATH and ENGLISH (or ESL) placement test, you will need to prior to coming to class.  Placement results (for English) may take up to 3 weeks so plan accordingly. Please check out the assessment website for testing appointments and testing dates & times.  I would strongly advise you to view the sample questions and study before taking the placement tests as we have strict retesting policies. High school courses, unless you received AP (Advanced Placement) credit, cannot be used for English & Math placement. Other placement tests for Science (Biology, Chemistry, BioChem, etc),Pre-Med, Nursing, Kinesiology (Physical Therapy, Sports Medicine), and Engineering majors will be discussed further during the COUN 200 class.  Sample questions for Calculus | Refresher/Crash Course on Math & Science

AP SCORES & Other College Transcripts:
Please bring your official college transcripts sealed in an envelope to the first day of the class.  Any open transcripts is considered unofficial and cannot be turned in.  I will sign off on your transcripts and send off to evaluations to include on your college transcripts.  Questions regarding the equivalency will be done either on the second or third day of class. High school transcripts can be turned in as well to clear the foreign language requirement for the UC campuses. 

Any other questions regarding college, classes to take, transfer, degrees, majors, careers,   etc. will be answered in the actual class. Please do not attempt to ask these questions until the week of your scheduled COUN 200 course.
