Exemptions from Assessment
There are a number of ways to qualify for an exemption from assessment. Please note, however, that some courses and/or programs may have specific skill prerequisites where exemptions do not apply and assessment is required.
A student may be exempted from assessment if he/she has:
- Earned a college degree from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States - indicate on application and provide copy of degree or official transcript to Admissions and Records Office.
- Completed intermediate algebra AND college-level English composition at another regionally accredited college or university with a grade of "C" or better - provide official transcript to the Admissions and Records Office.
- Decided to enroll in Level 1 basic skills course(s) in reading, English, and mathematics only.
- Decided to exercise a "one course waiver" in a course with prerequisite, "none." A student may subsequently enroll in one course per term, provided that the previous course to which the waiver applies was passed with a grade of "C" or better.
- An alternative assessment from other colleges - provide a copy to the Academic Assessment Center or fax to the attention of the Academic Assessment Center (209) 954-5600.
A student who thinks the A/P or ESL assessment did not measure his or her skill levels correctly, may request a retake. Please contact the Academic Assessment Center, Cunningham Center, Room 220, for information regarding this retake. Further appeals may be made through the Admissions and Records Office, Holt 101.
