Why do I need a Test?

All new students need to complete an ASSET test.

The ASSET test is three 25 minute placement tests designed to identify skill levels in English, reading and mathematics. ASSET scores are used to decide which courses to take. Students placed in the proper level courses have a much better chance of success. ASSET testing is free.

There are also specific programs of study which may require testing for acceptance into the program. Nursing, EMT- Fire Science, and Mortuary Science are just a few examples.

If English is not your first language you may need CELSA testing for English language proficiency. See the CELSA testing information.

International students must have a TOEFL [Test of English as a Foreign Language] opens a new window score of 500 or equivalency as determined by the director of Admissions and Records. The TOEFL test results must be mailed directly from the Educational Testing Services to the Director of Admissions and Records.

Please feel free to contact the Testing Center @ 480-461-7480 if you have any questions.
