ACADEMIC ADVISORS FOR SPECIFIC DEGREE PROGRAMS:

Testing

"Accuplacer" Testing
Accuplacer testing focuses on the basic skill areas of reading, writing, and math. These tests are not graded; the score is used solely to assist the advisor in recommending appropriate courses. Admission to a degree or certificate program requires completion of the Accuplacer test. Students must have the Accuplacer placement results prior to registering for mathematics, reading, speech, and/or written composition courses or for admission to a KPC degree. Call 235-7743 to set up an appointment to take the Accuplacer. Accuplacer Assessment is recommended for all students.

Testing for Distance-Delivered Courses
Some distance-delivered courses conduct testing on the class website while others require a proctor. Beginning this spring 2008 semester, non-UAA students taking tests in distance coursers offered by other UAA campuses will be charged a testing fee. This will allow KPC to continue to support test proctoring services and processing of these tests. UAA students who take these tests will be assessed a $20 fee. Students from a non-UAA school or university will be charged a $30 fee for up to three hours of test proctoring services. Contact Cindy Pelaia at 235-7743 to set up testing for your course.

PRAXIS, CLEP and other national standardized tests
National standardized tests are given for a number of certifications and credit for prior learning programs. Contact Cindy Pelaia at 235-7743 for details.
