Placement Testing with Accommodations

All students who enroll at Penn College must take tests in reading, math, and English to determine appropriate placement in college level classes. These tests are given throughout the year preceding enrollment.

To be scheduled for accommodated placement testing, students must contact the Disability Services program assistant after receiving a testing date through the Advisement Center. Accommodations for placement testing are based on the history of the services and testing accommodations that were received in high school.

Accommodated placement testing for Fall 2009 enrollment is scheduled for Monday, May 4, 2009; Wednesday, June 10, 2009; Wednesday, June 24, 2009; and Wednesday, July 29, 2009.
