INTRODUCTION
Through the
Pre-College Department, Northern
Caribbean University serves high
school graduates who are not
immediately qualified for
matriculation into specific academic
programmes of the university.
Students are prepared to sit
external examinations while being
allowed to take a limited number of
general education credits. The
Pre-College programme allows
students to make up deficiencies
within one year, at which point the
student advances or withdraws.
OBJECTIVES
The department aims to:
-
provide a second chance for high
school graduates to obtain
failed CXC/GCE Examinations.
-
equip students with the
competencies necessary for a
successful external exam entry
in order to matriculate into the
programme of intent.
-
motivate and develop self
confidence in students in order
to help them succeed
intellectually and spiritually.
A pre college student is understood
to be ANY student registered for one
or more Pre-College subjects. The
specifications of this registration
are set out below.

External Examination Centre
The
Pre-College department also has an external

just with academic preparation but students as well as
community members enjoy the convenience of registering
with Pre-College for these examinations and also
writing them on the Northern Caribbean University
campus.
