Placement Retest Policy

Placement tests are offered online for the areas of writing, reading and mathematics. Results are valid for three years after the date of the initial test(s). A retest option in writing, reading and mathematics may be scheduled after the initial test date and within the three year time period.  The recommended waiting time for a retest is two weeks after the initial test date, but a student may choose to retest after a minimum of 24 hours.  A student may schedule a retest option for all areas or a single area.  Regardless of the number of areas to retest, there is a $10 fee to be paid in advance per retest appointment.  Retesting must be completed prior to the second day/meeting of a class a student wishes to enroll in.  There is a limit of one retest option a year.

Other Considerations:
Writing (essay) Retest –Upon request, a pen and paper essay retest will be allowed; arrangements are made with the English faculty at each campus. The policy as stated above will be enforced.

ATB--Individuals who have taken the Ability to Benefit (ATB) test may retest two weeks after the initial test date within any semester time period. A $10 fee is also required for the retest option.

College Connections (CC) Students- At this time, a reading and/or writing retest option can be scheduled in the designated high school at no charge. A CC student who wishes to schedule an on-campus retest option will, however, be charged a retest fee of $10 which is payable in advance. Retests must be completed prior to a student registering for a College Connections course(s). All other placement policy conditions are also in effect.
