Students admitted to Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology must be assessed to determine their skill level in English and mathematics so they can be placed into the most appropriate entry-level courses. We will make assessments based on the English and math grade point averages in a student’s high school transcript or HiSET/GED transcript.
The Admissions Committee will closely review transcripts to ensure that each student is placed into the appropriate level courses and is set up for academic success. Academic Success advisors will meet with students to discuss where they were placed and what classes they will be taking, from their first semester to their last.
The college had traditionally used the Accuplacer tool to assess students. But the college determined that too many students faced major technological barriers when the Accuplacer assessment was moved online in response to the COVID-19 epidemic.
