Testing Policies and Procedures
Below contains the Student Success Center Testing Policies and Procedures:
The NMSU Grants Compass Placement Test:
ALL new students, non-degree students, and transfer students who do not have college credit
in English, Reading, or Math must take the Compass placement test. Compass placement tests
are given at regularly scheduled times throughout the year. Cell phones, books, websites,
calculators, dictionaries or notes are not allowed to be used during placement testing and
comply with the student's responsibilities for using the SSC for testing. Any questions
about Compass placement testing can be answered by the Student Success Coordinator. All
students needing to take a Compass placement test must first "pre-register" with an advisor
at the front office or contact Beth Armstead at (505) 287-6628 for further information.
