Student Testing and Assessment

In order to place students into proper levels of course work, newly admitted students are required to take placement tests. The testing area is located in Hawthorn Hall room 108C. Students must schedule a placement test either online or by calling Ms. Mary Bertoluzzi at 219-980-6830. Students may not register for classes until they have taken the appropriate tests. After completing the tests, students will be given a referral to their advisor.
