The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education wants all of us to be proud of the quality and rigor of the college-level programs and courses offered by the public colleges and universities in Massachusetts. The Board is also eager for students to succeed in their college–level work. Thus, the Board requires all students attending public colleges in Massachusetts to take a series of placement tests that assess skills in writing, reading, and mathematics. The tests are not evaluated in terms of passing or failing. Rather, the tests are used to decide which courses should be taken at the beginning of a student’s college career.

Students can schedule appointments on either campus; regardless of what campus they plan to attend.  To make an appointment for your free assessment in writing, reading, and/ or mathematics please contact the Student Assessment Office at 508-588-9100 extensions 1991 or 1992.  All testing begins promptly at the specified times. Students arriving late may be required to reschedule.

A photo I.D. must be brought with you to testing. 
Please note that there will be no testing between June 17, 2010 – July 5, 2010.
