Just follow these easy steps.  \n1. Complete your EPCC Admissions application. You will need your EPCC ID number in order for you to continue to step 2...– call (915) 831-2265 for further information.  \n2. Contact the testing center of your local area college/university to ask if they will proctor your placement test for you. The local test site must have Internet access and be willing to proctor the TSI Assessment On-line Computerized Tests. The proctor must complete the“Proctor Agreement” (page 2) and fax it to EPCC Testing Services at (915) 831-2342.  \n3. Pay for your EPCC placement test - $29 for initial test (or $15 per subject if a retest is necessary) . Use the attached credit card payment form (page 3) to fax your payment authorization to EPCC.  \n4. Once Testing Services has received confirmation that you have completed steps 1 – 3 above, we will arrange for your test to be administered by your local proctor on a specified date. You will be responsible for paying any local proctoring fees charged by the local test center to proctor your test.  \n5. Before taking the TSI Assessment, you are required to take PAAM (Pre-Assessment Activity Module) . PAAM is an online information module that will allow you to experience firsthand what you might find on the actual TSI Assessment. The module has sample questions for the writing, essay, reading and math part with immediate feedback on your responses.  \n6. Once you complete the PAAM, you will be able to take the TSI Assessment Tests, which consist of 3 sections: writing (both multiple choice and an essay if your scores qualify) , reading and math. Also, look for the form “TSI Course Placement” to view EPCC course recommendations based on scores achieved. Your scores will determine which classes you will be able to enroll in at EPCC. Prepare well and do your very best on your test.  \n7. When the local test center notifies us that you have completed your test, Testing Services will post your test scores to your EPCC record. Contact a counselor or advisor about which courses you are eligible to enroll in at EPCC.  \nGood luck on your placement test and welcome to El Paso Community College! We look forward to having you join our other students who already know that EPCC is “The Best Place to Start!”  \nHelpful Telephone Numbers Necessary Forms  \n\n| Admissions Office: (915) 831-2265 | Proctor Agreement Form (page 2) |\n| --- | --- |\n| Testing Services: (915) 831-3221 or 2347 | Credit Card Payment Form (page 3) |\n| Counseling Services: (915) 831-2423 or 2642 | Thanks for choosing EPCC to begin Or continue your college education! |\n| Campus Cashier: (915) 831-2107 |  |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>The Best Place to Start & Your Community Partner! | Proctor Security Agreement for TSI ASSESSMENT On-line Tests\u003Cbr>[www.epcc.edu/services/testingservices](www.epcc.edu/services/testingservices)\u003Cbr>Telephone: (915) 831-3221 Fax: (915) 831-2342 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nThis form is used to document the agreement of test proctors from other colleges and universities who agree to administer the TSI Assessment On-line Computerized Tests to prospective EPCC students.
