Testing & Certification Services

Alpena Community College offers a variety of testing certification services to students and the local community. Some services require registration and payment of a fee. Services include:

Basic Skills Assessment
Basic Skills Assessment Test (COMPASS) is not required for any student with a composite score of 20 or higher on the American College Test (ACT). Students must release their ACT scores to ACC in order to waive COMPASS placement.  Skills assessment is required for all new Alpena Community College students who do not have a high school diploma or GED; for all new students who register for nine semester credits or more; and for all students who register for a course in English or Mathematics for the first time at ACC. It is strongly recommended for all students, regardless of course load or field of study. The battery measures the level of a student's reading, language usage and numerical skills. Results are used to make recommendations concerning course placement and the possible need for basic skills instruction in The Learning Center. ACT testing is also available for high school students
