The Assessment Center at College of the Canyons offers proctoring services to students for math, English, ESL, the Ability to Benefit test, the California Chemistry Diagnostic Test, and Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) proficiency skill tests.

The Assessment Center operates on a walk-in basis. Students must have an application on file with the Admissions Office before testing and picture identification is required. The use of calculators is not permitted. Your test results will be available as soon as you finish your assessment and our friendly staff will review your placement with you.

Placement testing in math, English or ESL is required of all new non-exempt students. Testing is free, there are no grades, no pass or fail, and students are allowed to work at their own pace, as the test is not timed. Counselors and program advisors use test scores to determine appropriate placement in classes and to help students develop their first semester educational plan. Any student who plans to enroll in a math or English class, or in a class that has a math or English prerequisite, must take the assessment test.
