Extension Center
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Extension Centers?
Extension Centers are local public
facilities and buildings where Westchester Community College offers
coursework in your community. Many of the same college credit courses that
are held on the main campus are offered at these centers. Non-credit,
continuing
education and ESL courses are
also offered at some of the centers.

Why should I take classes at an Extension
Center?
- The classes offered at these facilities
may meet closer to your home or
place of work.
- It could reduce your travel time.
- Extension classes begin one week after the
main campus classes begin so you have some additional flexibility.

Do I have to take a placement exam?
All full time students are required to take
a placement exam. This is not an entrance exam. It is a tool used to help us
determine which English and Math classes you should register for. If you are
a part time student, you are required to take the placement exam before you
take an English or a Math class.

When should I take the placement exam?
It is recommended that you take it as
soon as possible.

Can I take the
placement exam at the Extension Centers?
The placement exam is offered
at the Mt. Vernon, Ossining, Peekskill and Yonkers Cross County centers,
please check the
Placement Exam Schedule for dates and times.
