| Assessment Re-tests |
- Students may challenge initial placement results by re-testing; however, all re-tests are subject to a $10 fee. Students must pay a $10 fee to the Cashier, sign up for the assessment, and bring a receipt to the administration of their re-test. Any exemptions from the re-test fee must be approved by the department administrator.
- For English re-tests, students must also have a referral form from Counseling/Advising.
- Once students have taken the Reading Comprehension & Sentence Skills assessment and enrolled in the English sequence of courses, there is no opportunity to re-test.
- Besides disputing initial placement results, there is an opportunity for students who place into English 350 to challenge the English 150 Competency Exam and be promoted to English 1A once they have successfully completed the course; however, there are several criteria which must be met. These include receiving an A in the course, a 4 or 5 on the English 350 competency exam, a 4 or 5 on the English 150 competency exam, recommendation from the English 350 instructor, and agreement to co-enroll in English 152 and 1A.
- The Math Department allows students to re-take any level Math assessment twice within a testing period.
- EOPS may be able to pay for a re-test. For more information please contact them at (707)476-4270.
