New Student Assessment and Advising<br />

What is an assessment?<br />

New students are required to take an assessment to enroll in English or<br />

mathematics classes. A computerized assessment is used to assess sentence<br />

skills, reading comprehension, and mathematics skills. Transfer students<br />

may not be required to take the assessment if they have a 2.0 grade level<br />

or higher in college level English or college level algebra. An educational<br />

advisor in the Student Entry and Advising Center (or a faculty advisor) will<br />

make this determination.<br />

Special accommodations<br />

Students who require special accommodations must first contact the Access<br />

Services Office. The office may be reached at 360.475.7540 or on the OC<br />
