Assessment of academic program areas is an on-going activity<br />
of the institution. To help us assess the effectiveness of our<br />
academic programs and individual courses, students are required<br />
to participate in various assessment projects throughout their<br />
academic program. For example, all students graduating from the<br />
Pierpont Community & Technical College division of <strong>Fairmont</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> are required to participate in the ACT WorkKeys<br />
assessment. Currently, all students who are graduating in a<br />
career/technical field are required to test; however, the institution<br />
reserves the right to require graduation assessments of students<br />
in other non-technical/career majors.<br />
Students who have applied for graduation will be notified in<br />
writing of the test dates for that semester. Students may also be<br />
referred by their program area faculty. Several testing sessions,<br />
including evening, off-campus, and Saturday test dates are made<br />
available to fit students’ schedules. The testing is free of charge<br />
to students, and students will be provided with an institutional<br />
absence when necessary.<br />
Students will receive official score reports and explanations<br />
of scores the semester following their graduation. Students are<br />
encouraged to include these score reports in their job search<br />
materials. This WorkKeys testing is a requirement of Pierpont<br />
C&TC and all community college components in the <strong>State</strong> of<br />
West Virginia.<br />
