Assessment
Good News! The online assessment is now available to students!
Detailed information about all of the new student steps can be found on the New Student
Checklist page (button below). Please note, the new online assessment can only be
taken once per student. If you took the assessment prior to Jan 1st 2019, you are
allowed to reassess on the new non-test system.
Know your rights!
California Community College students have the right to begin their education in transfer-level
English and math courses. Therefore, all of our placements on our Assessment System
will result in one or more transfer-level math and English options. Our Assessments
are not test-based, and use a process that looks at multiple factors (measures), such
as your academic history, grades, and G.P.A. When you start your assessment, you will
go through a brief video explaining our process in greater detail. If you get lost
don't worry! We are here for you and advisors can help you understand your results
when you are done. You can also contact us as assessment@canyons.edu or for general questions welcomecenter@canyons.edu
Don't worry, there are no right or wrong answers on the current assessment, but you
will be asked about your academic history in both math and English and/or ESL.
What do I need?
When you assess, you will need to know your COC ID number (7 digits starting with a 0), and, if easily obtainable, you'll want an unofficial copy of your most recent high
school transcripts for you to reference. If you do not have access to your high school
transcripts, you will still be allowed to assess. Plan to spend about 90 minutes
completing both your Assessment and Advisement step, which typically take place back-to-back
if accessed through the new student checklist page. The Assessment part alone typically
only takes about 10-15 minutes.
**NOTICE: The Assessment office is closed for all major holidays and weekends. You
can still assess at these times, but your results will not be uploaded in to our registration
system until the next regular business days. Thank you!**
If you do not need to do all of the new student steps, and only wish to assess, you
can click the start button below. Note that starting Jan 1st 2019, the assessment
stopped being an examination, so if you have already taken the new non-exam assessment,
you are not required to reassess again, as these questionnaire-type of assessments
never expire.
