Assessment testing
Many courses and programs at Douglas College require the completion of assessment tests.
Assessments measure a student's current knowledge to ascertain which level of course work is most appropriate.
Students must have a student number in order to do an assessment or challenge exam. Please book early in the semester, prior to your semester start, to ensure you are able to meet any deadlines as assessments historically fill to capacity during registration periods. Computer and keyboarding skills are used during the computer-based assessments.
See a list of programs and courses that require assessment.
