Course Placement
ASSET Conversion Chart (pdf)
COMPASS Test Score Cut-Offs (pdf)
For the purposes of proper course placement and advising, all entering freshmen who are seeking a degree or a certificate are required to submit ACT or SAT scores, ASSET or COMPASS scores, or scores from a similar nationally standardized test. Students can take the ASSET or COMPASS at any of the four college locations to fulfill this requirement. If the examination reveals deficiencies in math, English, or reading which might impair academic progress, the student must take developmental (or remedial) courses to address these deficiencies. Students may also be required to take college preparatory courses if they have not successfully completed the required high school courses.
Remedial and college preparatory courses are designed to bring basic skills in mathematics, English, science, and reading comprehension to a level generally expected of entering college students. Credits earned in remedial and college preparatory courses cannot be applied toward a one-year certificate or an associate degree.
Remedial and college preparatory courses must be completed before enrollment in a college-level course in the same area of study and in the freshman year or prior to the completion of thirty-two (32) hours of credit. Remedial reading courses will be given priority over other remedial courses and must be taken first. Placement in other remedial courses will be based on the student’s program of study.
Students enrolled in remedial courses must obtain the appropriate college official's approval if the student requests to take more than twenty (20) credit hours in the fall or spring terms and more than twelve (12) credit hours in the summer term. Students requiring remedial course work may require enrollment in an additional term to complete graduation requirements. In some cases, however, it may be possible for students to take remedial or college preparatory courses and degree or certificate courses in the same semester if all of the above conditions are met.
