Where can I get help if I am having trouble passing the ACT Writing and COMPASS Reading Examinations?
During intersession and the summer months at the HALC, students who have failed the ACT Writing and COMPASS Reading Examinations are qualified to take reading and writing workshops of two weeks in duration that help them prepare for these examinations, which they are permitted to take immediately after the workshops. Students can also seek assistance to pass these tests through the College Enrichment Academies, which meet during the semester (six-week courses that meet four hours a day on either Friday evenings, and Saturday or Sunday mornings) or during intersession and the summer months (four-hour sessions for twelve consecutive days). You can enroll in the College Enrichment Academies while you are taking ESL 035 or 091 or ESL Intensive Levels IIa or IIb. Go to http://www.hostos.cuny.edu/cea (College Enrichment Academies) to read more about the Academies.
