to take a make-up test are proctored by lab personnel. To ensure the integrity of the tests, the lab
has established specific policies for those who use this service.
Prospective students also complete placement testing in the Center. The College uses COMPASS, a computerized
software program. Students must arrive at least three hours before the lab closes to take the entire
battery. An hour should be allotted for each retest.
