Freshman Assessment

Students entering programs at NHTI, Concord's Community College are required to complete placement testing before registering for classes. Testing may be waived based on performance on standardized tests and/or grades in specific college courses. Department Heads of academic programs will use testing data to help advise students in course selection. Both national and NHTI data indicate that students benefit from assessment and placement. Students who need to strengthen skills may need extra time to complete their programs. For more information, students may contact Admissions at 603-271-7134, the Learning Center at 603-271-7725, or the Department Head of the program in which they are interested or to which they have been admitted.

A student may be eligible to substitute another higher-level course for the course prescribed in the curriculum, if indicted by the results of the student’s incoming assessment scores. The substitution can be made only with the joint approval of the student’s Department Head and the Department Head of the area offering the course. The approval form is available in the Registrar’s Office.
