According to the State of Colorado and Aims Community College institutional procedures. Students may be encouraged to assess in writing and/or math via the Accuplacer placement exam. Certain programs require assessment testing. Please reach out to inquire further.
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 can come in a variety of types, and the most common of which are ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer. Official copies of ACT and SAT can be obtained by reaching out to ACT (http://www.act.org) or CollegeBoard (https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat) directly.
