  • Assessment FAQs

    All  students are required to provide their high schools transcript. The academic records submitted with your application will be used to determine course placement. The ACCUPLACER and Computer Information System Assessments provide both you and your advisor with important information about your current skill level, which in turn, determines the classes you will take at Edison State. Placement assessments are a measurement of current abilities—there is no pass or fail. The ACCUPLACER and Computer Information System Assessments are given by appointment.

    Students who have taken the ACT or SAT within the past two years, or who have taken college-level math or English may not need to take a placement assessment. See the following FAQs for more information.
