Prospective Washburn Tech students must take certain tests to be considered for admission. You will be required to take the Accuplacer (Arithmetic and Reading Comprehension) tests and meet score requirements for your chosen program. Washburn Tech strictly enforces Accuplacer policies.
Testing sessions are offered regularly throughout the year on our campus. Click here to discover which testing date works for you. To schedule a test date, please contact Washburn Tech's Main Office at 785.670.2010.
Reservations are required for testing or retesting. Other requirements include:
Accuplacer is testing administered online. Testing center doors open at the scheduled test time and lock 15 minutes after report time. No one is admitted after the doors lock. Other information includes:
A fee is associated with each test. Testing fees are non-refundable. Only one test cancellation/reschedule will be allowed. If a student cancels more than once, the student will need to repay the full cost of the test.
Sample booklets are available at Washburn Tech's main office. There is no fee for the booklet. Accuplacer has online practice questions and practice tests, but a fee might be associated.
Each program has minimum Accuplacer admission standards. You may retest if you need to improve your score. However, we recommend waiting 30 days before retesting if no intervention, training or tutoring has occurred.
