What is Course Readiness Assessment?
Normandale’s Course Readiness Assessment is the testing process used to determine a student’s readiness for specific college courses. Course Readiness Assessment measures reading, writing, and mathematics skills and is used to assist students with the selection of appropriate courses to help assure a student’s academic success upon entering Normandale. Normandale’s courses in reading, writing and mathematics require completion of the Course Readiness Assessment. Certain other courses at Normandale may also require completion of the course readiness assessment. Details on course requirements and prerequisites are available in the individual course descriptions contained in the departmental listings of the catalog. Students whose Course Readiness Assessment results are at the Adult Basic Education (ABE) level in either reading or writing will receive a deferred admission to the College.
