Colorado College Guide
Student Assessment
The assessment process increases your probability of academic success, for it assists you in understanding how well you are prepared
for college-level courses and aids you and your advisor in making decisions about courses. Thus to ensure that students are prepared
for college-level coursework, each degree-seeking, first-time freshman in Colorado public higher education will be required to complete
assessment tests in reading, writing, and mathematics, beginning in academic year 2001-02. Remedial instruction in the appropriate
course(s) must be taken no later than the end of your freshman year (i.e., within the first 30 semester hours).
If your skills need to be strengthened, you will need to enroll in classes that are remedial in nature. These developmental courses
ensure that you read, write, and do mathematics at a level necessary to function in college-level courses. Academic skills classes also
are available to assist you with the study skills needed to be successful in college. Finally, some campuses offer courses in English as
a Second Language (ESL). ESL classes prepare non-English speaking students for college-level work in the U.S.
The General Educational Development (GED) Test is available to individuals who did not graduate from high school but need a diploma
to qualify for employment or entry to a postsecondary institution. Upon passing the test, the student receives a High School
Equivalency Diploma. GED preparation programs are available in a variety of locations, including the following public postsecondary
