Students with documented disabilities may be eligible for accommodations to assist with reaching their academic potential. You must have prior approval from Disability Access Services (DAS) before an exam can be administered with accommodations. For further information, contact Disability Access Services (DAS) at (970) 339-6388 or disabilities@aims.edu.

Aims Community College is a multi-campus institution and each campus offers a variety of assessment tests and services.

Assessment Testing

Assessment is designed to assist students in understanding their current academic levels and to aid them and their advisors in the selection of college courses. According to the State of Colorado and Aims Community College institutional procedures, all incoming students planning to register will be required to take the Noel Levitz College Student Inventory (CIS). In addition tho this, students may be encouraged to assess in reading, writing, and math.

New and returning students are responsible for making arrangements at the Testing Center to provide assessment scores prior to conferring with an advisor and registering. Assessment scores may be turned in or self-reported. Visit our website at https://www.aims.edu/student/testing/tests/assessment.php for information on the various options for meeting assessment,
