Assessment Center

Welcome to the Assessment Center! The Assessment Center provides a variety of testing services. Basic skills testing is recommended for prospective students. The Chemistry test is recommended for students who wish to enroll in Chemistry 400. Test results, along with other criteria, are used by counseling to determine readiness for specific courses and programs. Competency testing for the AA/AS Degree and Ability-to-Benefit testing are also available through the Assessment Center. There is no fee for testing. Results are available immediately after the test. ESL results are available in 3 working days.

Students must complete the online college application process and have a student ID number prior to testing/assessment.

A valid photo ID (school or government issued) is required for testing.

Testing is on a walk-in basis. No appointments are necessary. Please see the Testing Calendar for testing dates and times.

The Natomas Center has implemented new check in procedures. Effective June 4th, 2013 students must have an assessment boarding pass. Beginning at 8 a.m. on the actual testing date, boarding passes will be issued at the ARC Natomas front counter on a first-come-first-served basis. Distribution of boarding passes will continue until the testing slots are gone. Students must be present to receive the boarding pass. Please refer to the Natomas Center web site for their schedule and detailed information.

Students needing special accommodations for testing should call the DSP&S office
at (916) 484-8382.
