Self-Directed Placement Assessment

In an effort to get you started on the right academic track, we ask that all new college students take a placement assessment. This assessment is self-directed which means you are responsible for selecting the most appropriate courses for you as you begin your college career.  

The following policies have been established regarding placement:

Degree-Seeking Students - All new students with no prior college course work who intend to earn a degree or obtain a certificate are required to take the self-directed placement assessment.

Transfer Students - Based on the results of an evaluation of transfer credits, new students with prior college course work in mathematics and English may, upon request, be excused from taking the assessment.

Non-Degree Students - All new students who wish to take courses but do not intend to work toward a degree or certificate may not be required to take the assessment. However, non-degree students wishing to take any mathematics or English courses will be required to take the assessment before enrolling in those courses. Additionally, non-degree students who later decide to enter a degree/certificate program will be required to take the assessment.
