Schedule Your Assessment Test for Spring Semester

New students can begin registering for spring semester Nov. 15.

If you are a new student planning to attend Cañada College this spring, now is the time to begin preparing.

To determine which classes are right for you, you will need to complete assessment tests. The COMPASS assessment test must be completed by:

• Financial aid applicants
• Students enrolling in English, English as a Second Language (ESL), reading and/or mathematics if they have not completed the prerequisite classes in college
• Students enrolling in classes with an English, reading or mathematics prerequisite or recommendation level
• Students who are planning to transfer or earn an associate degree or a career-tech certificate
• The assessment tests are required for all new, non-exempt students.

Before you can take an assessment test, you must complete a Cañada College Application for Admission and receive a student ID number. You must bring your student ID number (that starts with the letter G) and a photo ID to testing otherwise you will not be admitted that day.

The assessment test is very important. You can prepare for the test by going to this site. Complete the assessment tests early to secure your registration into a class. Assessment test results will be available immediately after taking the test.

Saturday testing begins Nov. 5 at 8 a.m. in Building 9, Room 110 and 106. It is on a first-come, first-serve basis. For more information go to our assessment test site.
