Testing and Assessment Center

The Enrollment Services staff coordinates the effort to offer placement testing for incoming students and academic testing required outside the classroom.  The testing is usually in Richey Hall.

Students with documented disabilities who require special testing conditions should contact Mr. Wes Brown, Vice President for Student Success, at 912.260.4412.  South Georgia College collaborates with the Regents Center for Learning Disabilities to provide proper documentation.  The completion of these services may require several weeks.

To request testing information not on this site, please contact us at 912.260.4206 or e-mail lisa.mancil@sgc.edu.
Tests administered from the Testing and Assessment Center are:

• Academic Profile
• Placement Tests (COMPASS)
• Tests for On-line or Distance Classes

The COMPASS Test is a college-placement exam that provides a student’s advisor with the information necessary to place that student in the correct courses. 

The COMPASS Test measures a student’s abilities in English, reading and math.  Students cannot pass or fail the COMPASS test.  Performance on the test alerts the advisor to any deficiencies that must be addressed before the student is prepared for college-level work. Sample test items are available on the COMPASS Tests page from the ACT website.

Students who are required to take the COMPASS Test should call 912.260.4206 for available test times. Those students who need to take the COMPASS are students who have not taken the SAT/ACT test and/or who received their GED. Students taking the COMPASS Test should be prepared to present a picture ID (preferably a driver’s license) The Admissions Office will provide paper, pencil, and calculator. No cell phones are permitted during testing times.

COMPASS scores are available immediately upon completion of the test and can be obtained from the admissions office. COMPASS Test scores are required before students may register for classes. There is no charge for the COMPASS Test, for the first attempt. The second attempt, a $10 fee per each section taken is required. You are only allowed to take the test 2 times. No exceptions!

If you are not on time, your appointment may be given to the next available student.
