Completing your Assessment in your Community
Algonquin College recognizes that it is not possible for applicants to get to one of our campuses to complete your assessment. Applicants who live farther than 40 kilometers from the Algonquin College campuses in Ottawa, Pembroke, or Perth, may request to remotely complete an admissions assessment at a suitable testing site in their local community.

Typically, only college or university test centers’ are accepted as suitable test sites. Algonquin College does not typically permit assessments to be completed in high schools, libraries, or adult education centres. Additionally, assessments may not be typically supervised by professors, teachers, or guidance counselors.

Please note: those applicants who live greater then 200km from a suitable college or university test site should contact the Algonquin College Test Centre to discuss alternate test administration arrangements.
