Students who are already registered and have paid may be reimbursed for costs. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, the steps for a student to take are as follows: 

• Apply to Carl Sandburg College at www.sandburg.edu/apply. (new students to CSC only need to apply).

• Schedule to take the Accuplacer test.  To sign up, go to www.sandburg.edu/accuplacer and then visit campus to take it. Note the student must score 247 or higher to take BIO 101, ENG 101 and PSY 101. All other courses require a score of 227 or higher. For the Math portion, a score of 256 or higher is required for college coursework unless high school courses or SAT/ACT scores waive this requirement.

• The student should then schedule a meeting with their high school counselor to determine what classes best fit their needs, as well as complete the registration form. 

• CSC will then bill District #205 for the first 25 students to take advantage of this opportunity.  Summer courses begin on Monday, May 19, 2025.
