Entrance Assessments

Students must qualify to enroll in: Writing (English Composition I, English Composition II, or Technical Writing) and Math (Technical Math I, Technical Math II, Beginning, Intermediate, and College Algebra) through meeting college placement assessment criteria. College placement assessments are given at various times throughout the school year and can be scheduled by contacting the Teaching and Learning Center. Students taking assessment testing for the first time will incur no cost for the exam, as long as they are seeking enrollment at Manhattan Tech. Anyone retesting for Manhattan Tech will be charged $10.00 USD per assessment. Placement in English and Math courses are determined by completion of college placement assessment criteria. Students who have undergone placement assessment testing or ACT testing within three years of their Manhattan Area Technical College enrollment date may use those scores as part of the evaluation process to determine their placement in general education courses. An official copy of those scores must be sent to Manhattan Tech to be considered. Click here to schedule a placement test.
