Do I Need To Take The Test?

YES…
  • If you’re a new student with no previous college experience.
  • If your COMPASS scores are more than two years old and you have not completed an English or Math course in the UH system.
NO…
  • If your COMPASS scores are less than two years old.
  • If you have completed an English, ESL, or Math course with a grade of “C” or higher in the UH system (math courses would have to have been completed within the two year time limit).
If you have earned a passing grade for English and Math at a college outside the UH system. To see if a course meets the criteria for exemption, go to the Counseling Center in the Administration Building (AD) – 208.
