Placement Testing
WCC uses the COMPASS Placement Test (Computer-Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) to help you
and your WCC advisors understand your needs and select the classes that will help you succeed. WCC also provides
the COMPASS ESL Placement Test for English as a Second Language students.
You take COMPASS after you complete Orientation. You must take COMPASS, or be exempted from it, before you can be officially admitted to WCC and register for classes.
Do I have to take COMPASS?
Yes, unless:
- You gain exemption from In-Person Orientation (visit the
Orientation website for details), or
- You provide the College with ACT, SAT, COMPASS or ASSET scores (you must submit scores directly from ACT,
SAT, provide your original score report, or submit an official high school transcript that contains the scores).
When and Where do I take COMPASS?
- When: most applicants can take COMPASS right after their
In-Person Orientation session.
You can also come at another time during
Testing Center hours of operation.
Just be sure you arrive at least two hours before the Testing Center closes.
- Where: you take COMPASS in the Testing Center.
