The primary objective of the Comprehensive Assessment Program is to ensure that all entering
students have the skills and knowledge required for success in college-level transfer and occupational
courses. The key to accomplishing this goal is implementation of an assessment structure that
accurately places students in courses that are appropriate to their skills and knowledge.
Students should be placed at a level which will challenge them but which is not beyond their reach.
Students whose assessment results indicate that they need skills assistance will receive instruction to
address these areas. Individuals who are not ready to complete Parkland's preparatory coursework
will be referred to programs equipped to meet their needs. Accurate and proper placement is the goal
of the Comprehensive Assessment Program. Consequently, placements made through assessment
procedures are mandatory.
