Student Orientation & Placement Test
-
Orientation is Mandatory. On the day you arrive for your scheduled Orientation, you will be required to complete your immigration check-in, take an initial placement exam and attend an informational session that will give you more information about what to expect when you return to begin your classes.
Please see the New Student Pre-Arrival Checklist
for more details on what you need to bring with you to the Orientation. The Placement Exam is mandatory and will be given on the day of Orientation for all students, both Full-Term and Mid-Term arrivals. You should be prepared to spend approximately 2-3 hours at Capstone on this day.
For students who arrive Mid-Term, you will be required to take a second Diagnostic Exam two days following the Orientation. This test is also mandatory and will take approximately 3 hours to complete.
Capstone’s Initial Term of Attendance (1 Term = 12 weeks)
