STUDENT SERVICES AND FINANCIAL AID
STUDENT SERVICES
Student handbooks/planners are available in the bookstore.
Assessment Center
Prior to registration, new matriculating students who have
submitted an application to attend Los Angeles Harbor College
are required to make an appointment to take the “COMPASS-ACT”
assessment test. Any returning or continuing matriculating student
who has never taken an assessment test is also required to take
one (unless previously waived). The Admissions and Records Office
may waive this requirement for students who have an Associate
Degree or higher.
Students who have been assessed in English and math at another
college, or who have taken English or math coursework at another
college may have already met Harbor’s assessment requirements.
These students can bring a copy of their assessment results,
transcripts and/or grade reports to a counselor. English as a Second
language assessment is also available.
Assessment test calendars are available online http/studentservices/
matriculation/testingcalendar.html and at multiple campus
locations. You may also contact the Assessment Center at (310)
233-4072. Testing cycles run from September to February and
from February to September. Students are not eligible to retest
within the same cycle or once they have enrolled in an English or
math class and earned a letter grade (or credit/no credit). For more
information, come to the Assessment Center in the Student Services
& Administration Building, Room 118.
Students must bring a valid photo ID and Harbor College student ID
number to the test sessions. Orientation and registration information
will be covered at the assessment session.
In addition to the English and math assessment tests, the
Assessment Center offers two Math Competency Exams (one in
February and one in September), and Ability-To-Benefit (ATB) Tests
(for financial aid) on a year round basis.
