COMPASS testing is required for first-time degree-seeking students age 21 and older. It is also required for degree seeking students with college work who have not passed a college-level English or math course who started to college after fall, 1985. It assesses your college readiness skills in reading, writing and math.
In order to COMPASS test, you must wait at least 3-5 business days after submitting your online college admission or readmission application for the fall term so it can be processed and your need for testing verified. Feel free to check on the status of your application online using the login and password you created when you applied for admission.
To test, select a test date below and start at the Admissions Services office to double-check your application status, then go to the Business Services to pay test fee. Next, take your receipt and photo ID with you to the test which is given in the Assessment Center in the Student Union Building. Only valid driver's license, state photo ID or JSCC ID will be accepted. Check with the Lexington and Savannah centers for their testing times.
