The English and math assessments help you to determine the appropriate English and math courses for your current learning needs.
Testing is required before enrollment into English 90 or English 100. Testing is also required to enroll in algebra (math 25) and intermediate algebra (math 30). School transcripts verifying prerequisites are required to enroll in college level math (math 34 or higher). Click here to see if you need to take the math assessment.

If English is your second language, and you need ESL classes, take the ESL Assessment to determine which class you will be placed into. Testing is required before enrollment into any Advance ESL course.
Assessment tests are taken on a computer. This is not a timed test. However, students should put aside 1 ½ - 2 hours to complete both assessments. Students taking the ESL assessment should plan on spending 1 - 2 hours to finish both sections (time is dependent on your English language proficiency). All questions are multiple choice, and instructions are easy to follow. New students should plan to complete their assessment tests prior to attending a New Student Orientation Workshop.
You will receive your test results, including recommended placements, immediately after completing the tests. You will also be provided with clear descriptions of the subject matter covered in each English, ESL and math course.
You cannot "fail" the assessment tests or be denied admission to the college. The tests are a measure of current skill level only, not of intelligence or aptitude. You may only take an assessment once a year - so you cannot retake it to improve your score.
