Assessment Policies
NWTC is committed to assisting every student in meeting his or her learning goals. NWTC’s Assessment
Center provides a variety of assessments, tests, and certifications in a secure environment and atmosphere
conducive to testing. Valid photo identification and related fees, if applicable, are required prior to testing.
The following items are not allowed in testing rooms: All electronic devices, including cell phones, fit bits,
personal tracking devices and pagers; personal calculators; reference materials unless approved in writing
by instructor, backpacks, purses, wallets, watches, food or beverages and outerwear (hats, jackets, hoodies,
sweatshirts). Please note that locker space is limited.
The Assessment Center complies with NWTC’s Academic Integrity Policy. Testers who violate the policy
will be asked to leave the Assessment Center. The incident will be reported to the instructor who will
determine appropriate consequences.
Admission Assessments
Students are required to meet mandatory program and course placement requirements before being fully
admitted to program pathway and/or enrolling in general education courses. If placement testing is
required to meet the pre-requisite, students may take the Accuplacer at any NWTC location.
Students test in Accuplacer Arithmetic, Qualitative Reasoning, Algebra and Statistics, Advanced Algebra
and Functions, Reading, and Writing. Individuals may re-test two times before following the prescribed
College developmental pathway. Test scores are valid for five years.
Accuplacer Testing Procedures:
1. A prospective Accuplacer tester must call to register for a test session (888-385-6982), and bring
the $20.00 testing fee and a valid photo ID to their test session.
2. If the required score is not met, the tester may register for another test session without cost within
one calendar year of the first test session. No minimum timeframe between the first and second
test sessions is established.
3. Another $20.00 fee is assessed for a third and final test session. No minimum timeframe between
the second and final test session is established. However, the third session must be completed
within one calendar year of the first session.
Notes:
1. The College accepts Accuplacer, Compass, TABE Level A, ACT, or Asset scores for program and
course placement.
2. Accommodations for special populations may bypass Accuplacer testing in favor of another exam
as determined by NWTC staff. All equivalent program and placement scores will apply.
3. All testers will follow the procedures outlined above regardless of testing site. The scores of
students who have tested in district high schools are reviewed for program and course placement.
However, students will begin following the procedures outlined above upon registering for a
NWTC test session and paying the $20.00 testing fee.
