College Preparation

The Academic Skills Center offers a college preparatory program which allows individuals to review or rebuild their basic skills prior to enrolling in college. The health occupations programs require applicants to achieve minimally acceptable scores on the COMPASS placement tests.

These tests measure reading, math, and English skills. For those individuals who choose to study before taking the COMPASS test, the Center's staff gives them diagnostic tests and designs a study plan to address their academic needs. Individuals choose their own study schedule within the Center’s hours of operation. No fee is charged for this service.
