All entering students who enroll in Associate Degree or certificate programs will be assessed through the administration of the ACT, SAT, ACCUPLACER, or another approved assessment instrument and be placed at the appropriate academic level as indicated by the assessment results with exceptions to be determined by the Instructional Officers. All placement test results are considered a part of the student’s permanent academic record. Entering students are requested to have the results of all tests they have taken, including the ACT or SAT, forwarded to the College.
