According to the State of Colorado, all first time degree seeking students, as well as students seeking select certificates must be assessed in Reading Comprehension, English and Mathematics.

At Aims Community College, you must complete the Accuplacer placement exam or secure an Assessment exemption before you can register for classes (see the Placement Test section of the Frequently Asked Questions).

Placement Testing is important because it:

• Provides us information on your current skill base to determine appropriate course placement.
• Helps us develop an educational plan with you that is focused on your academic success.

If it is found that you will need remedial/ developmental courses before enrolling in college level Math or English, you can take those classes at Aims Community College.

NOTE: You can take similar developmental courses in other colleges in Colorado.
