entrance to the testing session. Students who do not possess a photo ID may
notify the Admissions Office in advance of testing and prove identification
through a combination of birth certificate, social security card, credit cards,
and other forms of identification. An applicant who does not possess photo
identification at the time of testing and who has not made prior arrangements
will not be allowed to test. Applicants are also informed in advance of the
time and date of testing and are expected to be on time for the testing session.
Applicants will not be allowed access to the testing session after the time
scheduled for the exam to begin.

B. Payment of the non-refundable application fee
C. Submission of official postsecondary transcripts, if applicable
6) Applicants for the Practical Nursing and Associate of Science in Nursing programs who have met admissions and residency requirements are scheduled for additional
testing administered through the Admissions Office. The additional test is the TEAS exam (Test of Essential Academic Skills) published by Assessment Technologies Institute. Applicants are scheduled forthis additional test separately from the placement exam. They are instructed to bring photo identification for admission to this testing session just as they are for the placement testing sessions. An applicant may take the TEAS exam up to three times within a 36 month period.
7) Next Generation Accuplacer test scores are saved in a database file within the test software after the testing session. Scores are also posted in BANNER under "SOATEST" as part of the applicant's computerized permanent record. Individual score reports are scanned and saved to a server that is backed up to an off-site location.
8) The scores made by a student on the placement exam do not expire. However, students may only attempt the placement exam twice in a 60 month period.
9) Each student will receive an interpretation of his/her assessment scores
prior to beginning his/her educational experience.
10) At the time an applicant receives his/her assessment results, s/he may wish
to retest. An applicant who wishes to retest may retake any or all sections of
the admissions test one time only. The applicant must make the decision
and request any or all parts of the admissions test at the time of receipt of
their results, and must schedule to take the section(s) within one week of the
initial test.
11) Applicants with disabilities who need special assistance and consideration
must notify the Admissions Office of any special needs prior to the testing
session so that specific arrangements can be made. For visually impaired
applicants, a large print version of Accuplacer is available. For applicants who
are blind, compact disc and Braille versions are available. For learning
disabled applicants, a compact disc version is available. Extra time may
also be permitted for completion of the exam. Other assistance may be given,
depending on the nature and severity of the disabling condition. Each situation
is determined on a case-by-case basis. The applicant must provide the Special
Needs Specialist with documentation of a disabling condition prior to the
provision of any accommodations. The Special Needs Specialist will coordinate
with the Admissions Office concerning the provision of such accommodations.
