If a student has taken an assessment test within the last two years we will accept those scores. If you have completed English or math courses at another college, eligibility may be determined by your transcripts. Have eligibility updated in computer (transcripts sent to Palomar College records are not automatically processed).

Documentation of test scores or transcripts must be presented to the Assessment Center of the Counseling Center before registration in any course. You may fax the documentation to 760-591-0482 or bring in a copy to the Assessment Center prior to your registration date. You may need to attend an orientation.

Students who have been enrolled at other colleges:

Students who have completed assessment at another college (within the past two years) will need to bring in or FAX their test scores to our Student Access/Assessment Center, (760) 591-0482. We will make the student eligible for the same level classes at Palomar.

If you have completed coursework in English and/or math at another college, we will need to see a copy of your grade report or transcript. AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 in English and/or math will also establish eligibility in those subjects. We accept unofficial copies. Students may bring it in or FAX it to us. Completed coursework does not expire.

Partial Assessment

New students need to take the entire assessment unless they have tested (within two years) or completed coursework in English or math at another institution. Documentation of test scores and/or coursework must be presented at the time of sign-up. High school students may take a partial assessment. Contact the Student Access/Assessment Center for an appointment.
