Placement Assessments

 

Placement assessments are important. We typically provide these assessments in a secure testing environment on our campus.  Given the pandemic, in-person assessment might not be possible. We request that you complete the assessments honestly so that the results accurately represent your work for appropriate placement purposes. An inaccurate assessment will place you in an inappropriate class level which will negatively impact your performance and academic progress.  We strongly encourage your best effort in these assessments.

Assessment Instructions

 

English Assessment

  • Duolingo/IELTS/TOEFL scores
