Cochise READY is a new student onboarding program designed to help students prepare for a successful college experience. Each session provides an opportunity to learn about the college, meet with an advisor, and register for your first semester of college. Sign up for a session at Academic Advising & Career Services.
Cochise College uses a combination of placement tests, transcripts, and Directed Self Placement tools to place students in the appropriate-level courses. Your Academic Advisor will determine what you will need to complete.
1. Directed Self Placement (DSP) is a course placement tool that helps you choose a course that aligns with your skills and your experiences. Visit the Directed Self-Placement (DSP) webpage for Reading, English and Math.
When you meet with your academic advisor bring a copy of your unofficial transcripts (if you have graduated high school or earned your GED in the last three years).
Nursing students must complete the ACCUPLACER placement testing for English, math and reading and the TEAS entrance exam as part of their admissions process. These tests can be scheduled by visiting the Testing webpage.
High school students are encouraged to work with the Early College Department to determine whether they need to complete DSP testing or whether they’ll meet eligibility
requirements based on their HS transcripts.
Now that you have been admitted to Cochise, you will need to select your courses from the class schedule and register for them online or at one of our campuses or centers. Visit our registration webpage to continue your academic journey and learn about your next steps!
