Assessment is a tool used to determine a current level of skill in an academic subject. At Camosun we use English and math assessment tests.
If you are a potential or current student who does not have the English or math pre-requisites to enter a program or take a course here at Camosun, you might need to take an assessment test.
The results from the assessment test will either allow you to enter the program or course of your choice without the published academic pre-requisites or indicate the level of academic upgrading to begin your work.
If you need help planning your education, talk to someone in Academic Advising. Academic Advisors help you to explore educational options, understand admissions processes, plan course selections and interpret educational institution rules and regulations as the apply to you. They can also refer you to other support services, if necessary.
