Meeting & Agendas

Discussion: ACC started administering Accuplacer at some of the ECS and College Connection high schools. In general, this test has been easier to use at the high schools. However, we are still unable to automatically upload scores to Datatel. We are manually entering scores. These scores are identified in Datatel as CPT scores which was the previous name of Accuplacer. The writing placement chart has been updated to include this test. Decision: No action required

1. Assessment Prep: How do we integrate assessment prep to procedures? How long should this assessment prep be? 2. What decisions should be made to determine if students should take all components of the test in one sitting; should students be given option to take parts of test at different sittings? Decision/Actions: Future discussions to be based on final TSI rules. Follow-Up: Retesting recommendations to be determined by Developmental Departments March 2013.

Discussion: Rules were assigned for review to determine if updates will be needed.
