Management Admissions
Assessment Before beginning a program at a technical college, students must complete a placement test to determine their level of math and reading skills. The assessment tool currently used is ASSET. The completion of this assessment enables staff to identify program areas where a student may achieve the highest degree of success. Any score received on the placement test does not exclude anyone from attending a technical college, but may necessitate the need for remedial or developmental course work. Many times these courses can be taken at the same time that the occupational classes are begun. Under certain conditions a student's prior official scores on the ACT, SAT, or CPE may be accepted in lieu of taking the ASSET. Additionally, official transcripts from a regionally accredited institution documenting equivalent program level English and Math coursework successfully completed at other postsecondary institutions may be used to document a student's basic education skills and eliminate the need to complete the placement test.
