Assessment/Course Placement
The college assists students with course and educational program decisions through assessment and advising. Native English speakers take the Accuplacer to determine their current academic skills in reading, mathematics, and English. Non-native English speakers take the Accuplacer LOEP test to determine their level of English language proficiency. Additionally, students can complete a self assessment documenting their experience and comfort level with English and math and the results can be used to determine starting course placement. Pathway Advisors develop educational plans to enhance student success using assessment results.
Students who plan to take the Accuplacer can expect to spend approximately one and a half hours taking the assessment (the LOEP test may require additional time). Information concerning pre-assessment workshops, study guides, and video tutorials are available online at www.CCAurora.edu/testing or call 303-360-4948.
