On-line Self-Assessments

The college encourages students to take the opportunity to assess their quantitative skill level and learn more about their learning preferences by completing a variety of on-line self-assessments. These assessments are not intended to be threatening in any way or to be used as a placement exam, but serve as an opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and to encourage students to become engaged, and reflective learners.

Completion of the assessments/questionnaires is an optional activity, but one which is strongly encouraged. By completing these assessments/questionnaires, students agree to disclose the results or content to Colket Center professionals and to their faculty adviser. The results will not be used for placement, but will guide advisers as they make course recommendations. The general results of these assessments may be used by the College to plan future assessment activities for placement of students.

Choose from the following:


Placement Assessments

  • Foreign Language Placement Test Students may take placement exams in a variety of languages at the CAT Lab (in the Learning Commons). Students are advised to take this test prior to enrolling in a language course as a mechanism of confirming appropriate placement.

    In some cases, students may take a language test as a way of fulfilling the required language graduation requirement. Students can take a language test anytime during regular lab hours.

  • Departmental Placement Testing

    Due to the quantitative nature of particular curriculums, it is recommended that students who have interest in enrolling in courses offered in select departments (Chemistry and Mathematics) seek advice from a professor within the department prior to enrollment. In the process of doing so, students may be asked to complete a short assessment. The results of this assessment will assist advisers in proper course placement.
