The College is also a testing site for the ACT (American College Test), GED (General Education Development) tests. Registration information and test schedules are available from the Office of Student Services or the Assessment Center Coordinator. Special testing procedures to accommodate persons with documented disabilities are provided in compliance with Section 504 and ADA. Contact the Assessment Center Coordinator for further information.
Testing information available from the Assessment Center (309) 341-5323 or visit the COMPASS web site for complete info.
Prior to registering for classes, all incoming students must take the COMPASS test. Also, returning students who have not had COMPASS are required to complete the exam prior to registering for entry level math and English classes. The (COMPASS) program will not only help place students in courses most beneficial to their needs, but also will orient them to the many programs, activities and resources offered by the College. In addition, the results of the COMPASS testing will provide the Student Services staff with a valuable tool for more effective counseling of students.
