Assessment

Students may be required to participate in the assessment process prior to enrolling in classes under the following circumstances:

• Students who are degree- or certificate-seeking will be required to take the assessment test, with the exception of a few vocational certificate programs that do not require math and/or English.

• Students who wish to enroll in a math or English course at JCCC, regardless of whether they plan to seek a degree or certificate, must take the assessment test.

Substitutions for the assessment:

• Students who have successfully completed college courses in math and English from a U.S. institution may substitute these courses for the assessment.

Placement Based on Assessment

Students may be required to enroll in developmental reading or English classes based on their assessment scores. If a student is required to enroll in developmental reading and/or English classes, the student must enroll in any required classes to be allowed enrollment in other classes. Additional information is available in the Success Center and in Testing Services.

Dropping a Course Required by Assessment

Students will be required to drop all classes when dropping reading/English classes in which they were required to enroll by the assessment process. All appeals should be made in writing and reviewed by the director of Student Development for resolution.
