Each student admitted to Denmark Technical College must take placement tests in reading, mathematics, and English. Students participate in a variety of assessments and surveys from admission through post-graduation to ensure high academic standards, effective evaluation of student achievement and placement in certain courses, and student satisfaction with quality of the instructional program.
At Denmark Technical College, the ACCUPLACER is administered as a placement examination for reading, English, and mathematics to help identify a student’s present academic strengths and needs, and how they match up with starting point requirements for the first courses that are a part of a student’s program of study.
Other diagnostic assessment tools are available as needed. Students who do not achieve an appropriate score on the placement Ttest are placed in transitional courses for program preparation. Supplemental assistance in the form of academic support laboratories, tutoring, and academic mentoring is also available.
