3. Assessment
Knowing more about your skills in reading, English and math is an essential part of clarifying academic goals and understanding the expectations of college level courses.
The purpose of the assessment requirement is for students to establish placement levels and course eligibility to make your college experience more successful. With a profile of your present skills, counselors can recommend courses where, with effort, academic achievement is likely. They also can suggest programs that will help you meet your vocational and educational goals.
The Basic Skills Assessment is a multiple choice, computerized evaluation in reading, English and math.
