Welcome back to our returning students! Starting this year, we have a new system for enrolling and re-enrolling students.

RETURNING STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED LAST SCHOOL YEAR: If you had academic attendance in the last school year (July 1, 2022 – August 18, 2023 and / or September 5th - December 22n) then start by registering for this class. You’ll be contacted by a staff advisor or teacher who will schedule an appointment to help you re-enroll. We’ll work with you to update your goals, paperwork and contact information so that you can get back to work in the Learning Center. A member of RSU 13 Adult & Community Education staff will be in touch (after August 28) to schedule an advising re-enrollment appointment with you.

In addition, returning students need to take a CASAS assessment exam (unless you have attended class in the past 90 days). If you know for certain you had academic attendance last school year and would like to get a head start then you can schedule your CASAS exam by contacting Rebecca at rspitz@rsu13.org. These Proctored Exam Sessions are offered regularly by our Program Assistant in the 2nd Floor Computer Lab. Feel free to reach out to Rebecca with questions rspitz@rsu13.org. 

RETURNING STUDENTS WHO DID NOT ATTEND LAST SCHOOL YEAR: If you have been a student in the past, but do not have academic attendance from last school year (July 1, 2022 – August 18, 2023) then you will be considered a new student in our enrollment process. Please register for High School Completion Information & Enrollment (START HERE)! You will need to attend just one of the session dates listed.

This class is for students who want to review math skills before taking a math placement test or enrolling in a college math course. The class provides one-on-one instruction where the instructor and student decide together on which type of math to work on. Some students may need to rebuild foundational math skills and concepts before moving on to more advanced math. Others may want to brush up on their Algebra skills. The class objectives will be decided during the registration process.

Students may continue to meet with the instructor for tutoring help during their college mathematics course, if desired.
