English Placement Test (EPT)
The English Placement Test (EPT) is a paper & pencil exam that assesses basic English proficiency. The EPT is used in lieu of the COMPASS/ESL for students with documented disabilities who request special accommodations.
Retest Procedure:
EPT scores are valid for one year. If a student does not use these scores for course placement during that time, the student will be required to take the test again. Students may retest once on EPT for initial placement. Retesting of the complete battery of tests must occur prior to enrollment or by the 100% refund date each semester. Students who have already begun EAP instruction may only be referred for retesting on an individual basis by the department chairperson. Scores are no longer valid for placement after the one-year period; therefore, students may retake the test.
