Assessment

We need to determine the level of your reading, writing and math skills in order to place you in the appropriate classes.  We can measure this in several different ways, including previous college credit you've earned, SAT/PSAT or ACT scores, high school GPA or through an assessment tool called Accuplacer.

You can complete assessment in any of the following four ways:

Have you already taken the ACT, SAT or PSAT? Generally scores of 460 or higher on each section of the SAT, 46 or higher on each section of the PSAT, or 17 in English, 18 in reading, 18 in math or higher on each section of the ACT can be accepted for your assessment if they were completed within the last four years. Click here for more on ACT, SAT and PSAT scores.
Generally, a high school cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale will meet the assessment requirement if this was your final GPA at the time of graduation and if you completed high school within the last two years. You must have graduated with a Core 40, Technical Honors, or Academic Honors diploma or equivalent. Click here to find out where to submit your high school transcripts.

Have you already earned college credits or an Associate degree at another college or university? If so, submit your college transcripts to the Registrar's Office. General education courses taken at another regionally accredited institution, with a grade of “C-“ or higher, may be used to waive the ACCUPLACER exam.



If you do not have previous college credit, an ACT, SAT or PSAT score, or a cumulative high school GPA that satisfies the assessment requirement, you will need to take the ACCUPLACER skills assessment. Your scores on the Accuplacer determine which writing, reading and math classes you'll take first. You must meet certain scores to place into college-level classes. Learn more about Accuplacer.

Brush up on your skills! The higher you score, the fewer classes you'll have to take, which will save you time and money in the long run.
