Mission and Purpose
The mission of the Academic Resource Center is to assist students in strengthening their academic skills and successfully completing their college work. Support services and an assessment of current achievement levels are available to all students.
Placement Examination
All students are required to complete the ACCUPLACER System exam before meeting with an advisor to enroll.
Students requiring English as a second language should contact the ESOL Coordinator in the Humanities and Fine Arts Division, room 3413 in the Science Building for testing.
Questions regarding the need for placement testing by students who have previously received college credit for composition or math should be directed to the Academic Resource Center, 913-288-7171.
Study guides to aid students in preparing to take the placement tests are available in the Academic Resource Center. Students are encouraged to pick up the study guides for review before attending a test session. There is no fee for the exam, but a photo I.D. is required. Following the test session, students will receive a record of their scores and the recommended course placements.
Testing is computerized and administered on a drop-in basis. Students who require accommodations due to a documented disability should contact 913-288-7670 V/TDD.
