Book Your Skills Assessment

Good English writing and reading comprehension skills are needed to succeed at college, as are basic mathematics or science skills for some programs. Skills assessments ensure that new students are placed in the appropriate level of English and/or mathematics in their first semester of study.

Some programs require a Skills Assessment for Admission purposes, others require a skills Assessment for Placement purposes.

When do I have to write my Skills Assessment for Placement?

Book your Skills Assessment now to avoid unnecessary delays in:

  • registering for your courses
  • finalizing your timetable, and
  • starting your classes.

If I wrote a Skills Assessment for Admission, do I have to write the same assessment again for Placement?

No. The College will use the Skills Assessment for Admission results to place you into the appropriate English and/or math classes.

I have a documented disability. How do I arrange accommodation when I write my Skills Assessment?

If I applied for a Transfer Credit for recognition of a previous post-secondary credit I earned at another institution, do I still need to write the Skills Assessment for Placement?
