Academic Testing & Assessment

As part of our commitment to your academic success, the College requires that all incoming students demonstrate preparedness for college-level coursework.

Updated Academic Testing Information

Nursing majors:  The final Test for Essential Academic Skill (TEAS) placement exam will be held on campus on June 8, 2013. This exam is mandatory for all incoming first-year nursing majors. Register here. For more information, visit the TEAS page.

All other majors: Depending on a student’s intended major and Math SAT or Math ACT test score(s), the Mount may require an online math placement assessment (ALEKS) to ensure appropriate course placement. The math placement assessment will be offered online via ALEKS  (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces, a Web-based assessment and learning system).

Please note that you must complete the ALEKS online exam by June 7, if you are required to take it. Specific instructions and other important details will be sent to those students impacted. Visit our ALEKS FAQ page.

To verify whether you must take the placement assessment due to your intended major and Math SAT or Math ACT test score(s), please visit the Required Tests page.
