At Central Virginia Community College, we use the CVCC Enrollment Survey to determine student readiness for college-level English and math courses.
Students who Graduated High School 5 years ago or less: After applying to CVCC, complete the CVCC Enrollment Survey.
Students who Graduated High School 6+ years ago:
If you have been out of high school 6 years or more, you are able to place yourself in English and math coursework through a process called self-placement. After applying to CVCC, complete the CVCC Enrollment Survey which will help guide you to what English and math classes would be your best start based on your current academic skills. Academic Advisors are available to help and discuss your placement decisions.
Proficiency tests are available for students who feel they can demonstrate competency in a particular course. These tests are arranged by contacting the appropriate division office.
Assessment tests designed to assess general education achievement, achievement in selected major areas, and/or other aspects of education are required to be completed by students prior to graduation. Students will be notified of required assessments in the semester in which they file an application to graduate. Results of these assessments will be used for evaluation and improving College programs and services. Individual assessment scores will not affect graduation.
