Admissions < Placement Testing

Once the student has fulfilled all admissions requirements and has been accepted, the Compass placement may be required prior to registering for classes.

COMPASS placement testing is a requirement for:

• all degree-seeking full and part-time students

• all non-degree seeking students planning to enroll in English or mathematics courses.

The COMPASS test is strongly encouraged for all other students planning to enroll in more than one course. In order to register for a college level course in mathematics or English, students must score a minimum of 70% in the discipline area. Those students who score below the 70% range must enroll in developmental courses in mathematics, English or reading. If there are mitigating circumstances, the Director of Academic Advising may waive this requirement. Transfer students who have already demonstrated basic
level proficiency will not be required to take the COMPASS test, if proficiency is documented by official transcripts or other evidence. Visiting students from other institutions need to provide documentation from their institution to verify their proficiency level in
mathematics or English in order to enroll in these courses.

Students need to contact the Advising Office to schedule placement testing.
