early assessment program - csu college readiness
EAP results provide an early indicator of your readiness to take college-level courses.
What Makes a Course “College Level”? Students who demonstrate readiness for college-level, baccalaureate credit-bearing courses have the English and math skills necessary to succeed without the need for developmental courses. The credits you earn in these courses count towards college degree requirements.
How Do Students Participate In EAP? All 11th graders will participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in English Language Arts/Literacy and mathematics. Your EAP results are included on the CAASPP Student Score Report. Your score report will provide an indicator of your readiness to take college-level courses.
How Will Colleges Know If You Are “College Ready”? Let your EAP results count by releasing them to the California State University or California Community Colleges. Simply mark the release button at the end of the test. It’s that easy! If you do not mark the release button, you will be required to submit your results at a later date.
