In extenuating circumstances, a student may retake an assessment instrument after waiting at least forty-eight hours after initial testing. The student must submit a written appeal to the Director of Advising to retest. Upon official notification and if approved, the student must take the re-test within two weeks of the approval and prior to enrolling in classes.

Additional institutional re-testing with ACCUPLACER, ASSET, or Quick THEA, to determine the student's readiness to perform freshman-level academic coursework, shall be allowed once per term district wide, starting in the next term after the initial term of enrollment.

DCCCD may require students to pay for re-testing services by fall 2004.

*Effective September 1, 2004, Dallas County Community Colleges will require students to pay for re-testing services. Please see your advisor for more information.
