Students must either take or test out of ENGL 050: Critical and Analytical Reading, in their first semester at Keystone College. The credits and quality points earned are included in student averages; however, these credits do not count toward fulfilling graduation requirements.

The academic advisor assists the student in planning his/her curriculum and in preregistration; however, the student is ultimately responsible for meeting the requirements of the curriculum selected. Not every course is offered every semester at every location. Course offerings are dependent on enrollment.

Free Elective Courses: Sufficient free electives must be taken to ensure the student has at least 120 credits for graduation.
