Basic Skills Assessment/Placement
Asnuntuck Community College assesses the basic skill level of students in order to provide them with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and arithmetic or algebra. This program (mandated by the Board of Governors for Higher Education and the Board of Trustees of Community-Technical Colleges) is required for certain groups of students. They are:
- All new full-time (12 or more credits) students.
- Any new student who has entered the college since the Fall 1989 semester and who now wants to register for the twelfth credit, an English class, or a math class.
Waivers
- Students who have an Associates Degree or higher
are exempted from assessment testing upon presentation of appropriate
documentation, i.e., transcripts or a degree.
- Students who have SAT Verbal scores of 400 or higher
will be placed in ENG M101 - English Composition I. An SAT
Mathematics score of 400 or higher will place you in Math M095 -
Elementary Algebra Foundations. This math course is not used for
credit towards a degree program. If you feel you should be placed
in a higher level of mathematics, we would encourage you to take
the mathematics portion of the Basic Skills Test.
- Students who self-select to take a Writing Skills, Prealgebra, or Reading Development course, do not need to take the Accuplacer; however, an exemption form must be signed by a counselor or academic advisor.
