Who takes the assessment tests? Who attends the orientations?
The assessment tests and orientations are required for all new matriculating students, are available to all students, but required for students with a goal of obtaining a bachelor’s degree (with or without an associate degree); earning an associate degree, vocational degree, or vocational certificate; improving basic skills in English and math; or undecided on an educational goal. Some students are exempt from the assessment tests and orientation because they already earned a degree from an accredited institution, have successfully completed recent English and/or math courses at another college, or have an educational goal that does not require assessment. Please see a full description of this information in the class schedule or college catalog, or ask counseling or assessment staff for details.
