If you are a first-time Quincy College student who intends to earn a college degree or certificate*, whether you are taking one course or five courses, we’re here to help you succeed. As you might realize, your English and Math skills are the foundation for every course you take at Quincy College. That’s why we have introduced an assessment plan for our new students, a plan that national statistics proves works. All new students will have a “new student hold” placed on their account until the assessment process is complete. New students who have not completed the assessment at the time of registration will be allowed to enroll for courses, but the hold will not be lifted. These students will have to complete the assessment process and have the hold permanently removed by the end of the semester. Students who do not complete the assessment procedure will not receive grades or transcripts and will not be allowed to enroll in future courses. All new international students must take the Levels of English Proficiency (LOEP) assessment and the Math assessment to determine appropriate placement in ESL or academic support courses. This requirement will be waived for all international transfer students if they are transferring English Composition I and an equivalent Math course. Quincy College also recognizes STEP EIKEN test results. Applicants for ESL must pass Grade 2 or higher; Grade Pre-1 or higher is required for undergraduate degree programs. For more information please see www.eiken-ryugaku.com.

To complete the assessment procedure, please follow these simple directions for assessment.

1) Complete the Assessment

If you have submitted your application prior to the start of the semester, you will be sent an acceptance letter. If you have not already scheduled a time for the placement test, please call 617-984-1710. Once you complete the assessment in English and Math, the computer will generate scores and also the titles of appropriate courses for these scores. The next step is to take your printed test scores to an academic advisor.

2) Meet with an Academic Advisor

You can meet with an academic advisor Monday through Thursday from 8am - 7pm and Friday 8am - 5pm to discuss your scores and create a schedule that reflects the courses appropriate to your assessment. Advisors can be seen by appointment (617-984-1710) or they also have an open door policy (Saville 104). Staff in assessment can direct you to the nearest advisor should you decide to meet with them immediately following your assessment. To verify completion of the assessment procedure, new students must have an advisor sign their registration form to be presented at Enrollment Services whether in person, or via mail or fax. Once received, the “new student hold” will be removed. Students who mail, fax, or present their registration forms at Enrollment Services without both having taken the assessment and met with an advisor will be initially enrolled, but must complete the assessment process by the end of the semester to receive full student benefits. The “new student hold” will not be removed until verification of a meeting with an advisor is presented to Enrollment Services.

3) Register for Courses

New students need to complete the assessment, meet with an advisor and register in Enrollment Services. There will be extended hours for assessment and advising, both day and evening, during the registration period. If you have any questions please call the Admissions Office at 617-984-1710.

*All students in allied health and the computer applications grant program are tested prior to admittance and are not eligible for book vouchers.
