Retest If Assessment Test Scores Are Low
Students who tested below the assessment levels required
for college level courses are strongly urged to retest.
Low test scores require additional course work that
prepare the student for entering college transferable
courses. The higher the score means fewer remedial
courses, better use of your Passport scholarship, and
more transferable units in less time.
Understanding the assessment results and a list of the
courses that are associated with each level/score are
available at the passport.deltacollege.edu website under
the tab “Delta College Assessment Information.” If you
have any questions, please call the Assessment Center
(954-5051 x 6112) for additional information.
